Grenadiers to Redcoat

[Captain Ka-Boom]

First point i have to make is that no one makes grenadier regiments WHY? Now to my proper question what would be the scale of redcoats to grenadiers? Based on any thing, any year please as long as redcoats had tricornes

Thanks :'-)

Bonaparte and I have both made Grenadier regiments but they are French. During the Napoleonic era (Which our armies are made for) I the Old Guard Grenadiers were the Creme de la Creme of the French Army and thus why we added them but for the British I don't remember reading for seeing any major British Grenadier regiments.

[Sir Norman Ray]

We didn't have them really. I think the closest we had was one company a regiment was a Grenadier unit. Like the Light Company, they were the Elite of a Regiment, the toughest, hardest men. They used to carry grenades (the old glass ones) but ended up forgetting them

I suppose you COULD say the Coldstream Guards (The ones with the giant bear hats that protect the Queen) might be them, not sure really.

Here's a picture of my French old guard grenadiers:

and this one has been posted in my original Napoleonic army thread (not the one you find in my current signature).

It's a Black Watch soldier (Royal Highland Regiment)...

I am using those hats but now i might swap them to be french grenadiers oh well. Got any other old bad bits i can turn into useful piratical things bonaparte

How come the men down the back with the cannons don't have facial hair like the grenadiers? X-D

[DJ Force]

How did you fit those tires on the heads?

[Captain Ka-Boom]

1x1x1 black round piece in middle see stud popping up

[Mister Phes]

Ahhhhhh... That explains how that works. When I was much younger I attempted to plonk a tire atop a mini-figure head but it wouldn't stay there. I was very disappointed.

[Col. Whipstick]

Ugh... Do we have to keep looking at all those Frenchies? It's bad enough we can smell them. :-P

On me the reds!

[Mister Phes]

Just remove the tires from the theirs and they can once again be British X-D

[Lt. Col. Thok]

Well, the British Grenadiers had less of a role in "the Wars", so...I would like to see some though.

[Mister Phes]

Yes, bring forth the British Grenadiers!

Captain Ka-Boom, you got anything to show yet?

[Lt. Col. Thok]

Hehe...this thread has given me inspiration to make my own grenadiers - coming soon!!!

[Captain Ka-Boom]

Yes, bring forth the British Grenadiers!

Captain Ka-Boom, you got anything to show yet?

Ahh nothing amazing and they did exist! i swear! AAAAGH!

[Mister Phes]

By all means show us Work In Progress pictures so we can give you helpful feedback. There's no rule you have to show finished or even half decent MOCs.
