I already have the Velite Carabinier battalion which I painted for our Wagram game, so as the OOB requires 2 Velite battalions, I thought I'd better paint the grenadiers. Luckily I have a squillion of these Zvezda Guard Grenadiers in the plastic mountain, so they got the job as Velite grenadiers. However, I couldn't find an officer figure amongst them, so I gave a Voltiguer officer a close shave with the razor and replaced his head with one more suitable for the role.
I referred to the reference sources halfway through and realised that the cords and flounders probably should be white, but I'm not going to say anything about it if you don't (.....damn!)
They look the Biz!
