    So now, using previously released charging fusiliers miniatures, you can get a whole line infantry battalion charging. Sounds great, isn't it? :)

    Not really: the poses and most of the equipment are the same but the differences will show up in the painting (plumes/epaulettes etc) but on the castings the badge on the giberne varies as below:

    A1-Gs.JPG A2-G.JPG A3-V.JPG A4-F.JPG
    Grenadier in shako, Grenadier in bearskin (both with grenade badge), Voltigeur (hunting horn badge), lastly what I think is the same pose but as a bog standard Fusilier (no sabre/sling with the bayonet being incorporated into the giberne strap and pompom rather than plume)

    The full range is impressive:

    Absolutely correct - these are different troops at the same pose. There are two points, which makes voltigeurs looks differ that grenadiers - badge at the ammo pouch and double barrel ring on the musket ('dragoon pattern), while grenadiers uses common infantry pattern musket.
    And we have fusiliers at the similar poses - an NCO and two privates:
