Light infantry, 8e Chasseurs 1791-94 28mm.
Well that is what a week off work does for you. I finally got these lads finished, though it has taken a bit of time I think it was well worth it as I have wanted to have this particular type of Chasseur battalion added to my French Revolutionary collection for quite some time.
This battalion shows the light infantry in its early form with the casque hat and an all green uniform which supplanted their white breeches and waistcoat introduced in 1789. I have taken some liberties with the tri-colour cockade and flagstaff but I’m sure it happened. The uniform carried through to 1794 at the latest being supplanted gradually by the more familiar all blue coat, breeches and chapeau of the mid to late revolutionary period. I have earlier painted up two battalions of those so that’s covered!
All are Eureka 28mm figures. On to the photographs:
