Generals Prince Jerome Bonaparte, Quiot and Marcognet

Perry Miniatures do a rather lovely set of French divisional commanders.


The first Divisional commander is Général de Brigade Baron Joachim Jérôme Quiot du Passage who  was placed in command of the First Division of d'Erlon's First Corps after Alix the divisions intended commander accepted another role.


The figure based with him is an officer from the Perry Miniatures French infantry set with a simple head swap.



On to the next one.

The second Divisional commander of the trio represents Général de Division Baron Pierre-Louis Binet de Marcognet who commander the Third Division of D'Erlons I Corps during the Hundred Days Campaign.


The figure he is based with is a Porte Fanion from Brigade Games who seems a characterful chap to be accompanying Marcognet.



And finally


The final one of the trio is Général de Division Prince Jérôme Bonaparte youngest brother to Napoleon and commander of the Sixth Division of Reille's II Corps. As I am concentrating on I Corps it's likely this fellow will be doing double duty impersonating somebody else.


The companion on the base is the last of the remaining officers from the Victrix artillery set and has been given an Eagle from the Perry infantry set.




I had better get cracking on with some more rank and file, cannot have too many chiefs!

  9. Lovely paint job Paul and the additional figure on the base along with the mounted officer helps to tell a story. Also enjoyed the battle report of your Monday game.
