Although not all the figures and horses are Hinton Hunt the eagle eyed amongst you will spot some very clever conversions of HH personality figures.
My favourite is the guy in the helmet with telescope (centre of photo) which I guess is converted from RN.85 Russian General – see how many others you can spot (sorry no prize)…
Update from Roy - this is the picture he used as the inspiration for his splendid Hussar!

Superb - thanks for showing these - a real treat. Cleverly done - I recognise a few donors! The chap second from the right looks as if he is at least partly a Minifigs 20mm Napoleon.
Your rules - if you've made this clear before then apologies for missing it... Last time this came up I think you said that the version of your rules of which I had a copy was well out of date and you were redrafting them. Is there an authorised current edition available to fans and disciples?
Cheers - Tony
Hi Tony - the latest copy of the rules can be found by following the link in this post

I must work out how to add a 'rules' tab to the blog...
Most of the conversion and painting on these was done by Peter Bateman of BB Wargames. i did a couple of the pieces such as the conversion to a hussar general and the painting up of the Alberken Napoleon as a Russian General.
That reminds me that I must find out the names of the Russian generals at Borodino and label up the command figures as Ian does.

A fine collection of officers as you point out. For mine you can't go past the officer in the hussar uniform (of the Grodno hussars?)
Ii did do he conversion of the helmeted figure myself. It really s rather easy as one just cuts away the telescope , twists off the original head and then drills, pins and glues the new head. I twist heads off because that tends to give a flat surface for fitting the new head and its easier to find the mid point for drilling.
