I am looking for 4 mounted and 4 foot figures to use as the L’escadron des Cent-gardes à cheval. I am basing them on the picture in the Osprey not their formal dress, which they did not wear on campaign.
Any suggestions? I was thinking Napoleonic Dragoon with some modification to the Bicorne and coat
Any suggestions would be good
Privateer,
At the risk of speaking heresy, Wargames South produced a mounted figure of the Cent Gardes in bicorne in 10mm. I believe I still have some unpainted (I used the rest to eke out my French Generals). If you would like to PM me, I'll look them out and pop half a dozen in an envelope for you, no charge).

Curses, he's been promoted again >:(
Now, now, Cam, mustn't get obsessionable about these things - your time will come - eventually!! ;D ;D ;D

Oh, there must be something suitable, but seeing as there were so few of them, and they never saw action... :-\

Tsk, tsk, tsk.....Heretic !
But if it helps.... I'm as certain as I can be, that Wargames South have sold their 'Naps' to another company now.
Cheers - Phil.

Yeah, that'd be us... :-[
We've had them for years, but never really did anything with them unfortunately. One day we'll dig through a catalogue the moulds properly, but the sculpts wouldn't match in with anything else in the ranges now.
Good news, Priv!
A little bit of a rummage turned up a pack of fifteen of the little guys mounted. I'll try and pop them in the post tomorrow. No real ideas as to what you do for the dismounted guys, though.
