It's our first release of 2021 and also a long-awaited one as the Guard have arrived!  We'd had these sculpted a few years back but they were lost in the void known as 'Sculpting Drawer'...  But they're here now and ready for deployment against those pesky Brits!

Two quick notes on these, obviously the Guard were present through until 1815 but we've put them in our 1809 French range for the timebeing, with their earlier descriptions.  When we add an 1815 French range in the future they can be moved over to there.  Also, the Young and Middle Guard wouldn't have been issued with Eagles and would have bare poles with fanions instead.  As we don't currently produce those we've left the eagles on for the timebeing and folks can simply snip them off if they're going to make their own flags.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Thank you for more New Year's cheer. Just a wee question ... what is the difference between NPF 56 Old Guard Mtd. officer and NPF 24 Mtd. Guard Grenadier officer. I assume the new addition is a Foot Chasseur?? Many thanks for these figures.  :D

I think so, the original mounted officer seems to have the plate, the new one doesn't so should be a Guard Chasseur officer.

It has been at times!  There's not a great deal in there at the moment, we've been able to finally get a lot of it moulded and released during Covid.  There's only some Fantasy stuff pending at the moment.
