michaelozzie Posted September 13, 2009 Well ive made some of the cavalrymen of the Grenadiers a Cheval of Napoleons Imperial Guard. Their nickname was "The gods" as they remained undefeated in all campaigns they took part in. These guys are my favourite soldiers of the period. Thanks again to Woody for the bearskin hats.

Admiral Croissant Posted September 13, 2009 Very nice work again! But shouldn't grenadiers have grenades? I thought that was why they are called 'grenad-iers'. I could be wrong, I don't know a lot about these guys, but that's just what I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bonaparte Posted September 14, 2009 These figs look fantastic. Your army must be the most realist LEGO Napoleonic army reproduction existing. I'm also very impressed by Woody's hats, he seems to have a nice selection available at his shop by now (just took another look). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emperor Claudius Rome Posted September 14, 2009 Very nice work again! But shouldn't grenadiers have grenades? I thought that was why they are called 'grenad-iers'. I could be wrong, I don't know a lot about these guys, but that's just what I think. During the 17th and 18th century, they were armed with hand grenades. But they became an elite light infantry force by the beginning of the Napoleonic period. I really admire your custom fig Micheal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
