 A few 10mm Napoleonis for a client. Mostly MM, but a few Pendraken Austrian infantry mixed in. The owner will do their own basing later. Austrian infantry Top view Side on Back view Austrian ADCs and generals Back view Empress dragoons and Lancers de Berg Charge! Front on Back view French ADCs and Generals, including Lasalle.
