Everybody is playing cuirassier lancer and they ALL DIED like the chuds they are. Btw I found the image on twitter and knew I just had to USE it, original was captioned with ‘COSSACKS!’

Hello all, I was reading about the uniforms of the Chasseurs a Cheval de la Garde Imperiale and there was a section about the headgear of the trumpeters that interested me. According to Napoleon, His Army and Enemies (or napoleonistyka.atspace.com), the white bearskins that were normally attributed to trumpeters of Napoleon's guard light cavalry did not exist, and were (possibly?) embellishments by German illustrator Herbert Knotel (who known to be not the most authentic when it comes to depicting non-german uniforms).
Apparently, according to Rousselot; trumpeters would have been given black bearskin caps like their comrades or a bicorne hat for parade.
I cannot find any depictions of their trumpeters wearing this bicorne hat, except on image 4 but it is unclear who the bicorne wearers actually are and may actually be officers. What I would like to know is if somebody could confirm the headgear of the Chasseur a Cheval de la Garde Imperiale Trumpeteer and if its the bicorne previous mentioned, a description of it (if possible).

(note: NAPOLEON’S ELITE CAVALRY BY EDWARD RYAN, WITH ILLUSTRATIONS BY LUCIEN ROUSSELOT, GREENHILL (1999) on internet archive might have some information on it though I'm not exactly in a position to access it)

thanks in advance.

type shit. I used to play mobile before switching to PC when my tablet’s finally expired and I didn’t want to miss the moss ironworks update. The switch was easy but playing mobile again feels like home for me ❤️
If every mobile player stopped playing on tiny phone screens their skill would improve massively.

I’ve already done some digital art but this is my first serious attempt that I wanted to show to y’all. I actually like this regiment more compared to the standard French regiments and use it a lot. Did you guys know they actually have pre-bardin coats (habite-long) and older style shakos that lack the reinforcement bands on the side? Probably because these guys were bums and weren’t really that important for the French Empire, still this regiment would have stopped using their in-game outfit by 1813 so their appearance in Roscoff is hella farb.
Guhuhuhh yeah have fun.

This yellow sailor is stated to be a part of the ‘Provisional Marine Battalion’ supposedly originating or being raised from the province of Ile de France. However, I have yet to find a replication of exact or similar outfits as pictured here, nor any documentation of Provisional Marine Battalions during the napoleonic wars. I’m asking if someone could identify what this yellow man is supposed to represent? Maybe he is meant to represent the Equipage de Haut Bord or Flotilla fleet but it would be nice if this could be cleared up.
It’s quite late, so I’ll get back to this post tomorrow. Thanks in advance.

Doodled some more regiments.

1 & 2 - Royal Horse Artillery; I just liked Tarletons, and maybe made the plumes bigger and fluffier. She’s Scottish btw.

3 & 4 - De Roll’s Swiss; A royalist regiment made up of French, German, and Swiss soldiers raised by a former lieutenant of Louis the XVI’s Swiss Guards. They fought with the long from 1794-1816. The outfit is based on the uniforms they wore during the 1801 Battle of Alexandria, though by 1812-1815 they would have probably worn similar uniforms to the Chasseurs Britanniques.

Imagine if some Calvary trooper was digging around the armoury, found this cuirass and put it on.

Boy, I love being able to join late!!!

I just got a new sketchbook and decided I wanted to draw some more gnb women. decided to use Connect_Stretch8287's female oc's, hope they don’t mind.
