The Line chasseurs of Napoleon's Grande ArmÃĐe were, like their Hussar counterparts, the operational assets French generals relied upon to link the strategic objectives of their emperor to the tactical realities of the campaign theatre. These troopers were vital in reconnaissance, marking enemy formations, scouting march routes, and securing a forces' area control by denying enemy light cavalry their ability to operative effectively.

In battle, these units served as strategic reserves for divisions and brigades, both by securing the flanks of infantry assault, and plugging the gaps in broken lines with desperate counter-charges.
Tony Barton has added to his already extensive imagining of these soldiers in 18mm by sculpting skirmishing figures on foot and mounted, as well as troopers in the Kinski coat. The Kinski was a simplified, short-tailed single breasted coat worn by chasseurs during the pinnacle of Napoleon's imperial power, roughly between 1808 and 1812.
To accompany these figures, Tony has also added Elite company troopers in shako. These figures are suitable for those wishing to add elite variety to their units, but are depicting a campaign theatre after 1808 when the elite chasseur bearskin had been phased out of production.

Infamously, the summer offensives of the Wehrmacht during Nazi Germany's invasion of Soviet Russia never achieved any strategic victories. This resulted in German soldiers having to fight tooth and nail to hold on to hard won gains against Soviet soldiers reasonably equipped for the devastating winter conditions of the 1940s.
To compliment Tony Barton's well loved, and very popular summer Soviets, he has turned his attention to their comrades who fought across the bleak steppes of Eastern Ukraine and Soviet Belarus. Now available are Rifle squads in Greatcoat, Winter padded suits and Snowsuits.
They are perfect for those interested in the Moscow Strategic Offensive of 41/42, VoronezhâKharkov Offensive of 42/43, the DnieperâCarpathian offensive and the LeningradâNovgorod offensive of 44/45.
If your Winter Soviets need an enemy to vanquish, why not pick up some of our German winter units AB-ING27 through AB-ING31 for a truly existential snowball fight.

We're pleased to announce that AB Figures is once again able to ship to customers throughout the United States.
To ensure transparency and compliance with current trade requirements, here's how our USA shipping process works:
When you place an order, you'll pay the standard product and shipping costs as displayed on our website. Additionally, we'll reach out to you via AB Figures website, quoting your order number to request payment of 12% of your original order value to cover the tariff fee that must be paid to USA customs authorities, plus handling fees.
This approach allows us to keep our base prices while clearly separating the additional costs required for US delivery. We believe this transparent method helps you understand exactly what you're paying for and why.

We are often asked "What do you do all day, when you're not packing my order?" Well now you can see!
