Great figures. No 10 is on a drawing for the temptation of St Anthony.

Napoleon rode around 150 horses in his military career, including several bays and chestnuts. Of the five versions of David's painting, two portray him on a piebald (black and white) horse. There is plenty of scope for other colours other than grey.
The wild, flowing mane and tail are really an artistic device, looking very impressive in a painting, but very impractical in the field.
While Napoleon rode Marengo for part of the battle of Marengo (hence the name) the horse he rode crossing the pass was probably Styrie, but for most of the crossing, he probably rode a mule, as in Delaroche's painting.
We must remember that a commander would ride several horses in the course of a day, and particularly a day of battle.
Wellington did ride Copenhagen throughout the day of Waterloo, but this is certainly an exception.

Marengo was a Arabian stallion, and if you look at the Painting, Napoleon crossing the Alps, he it depicted with long Mane and tail. I presume the mane had to be Fairly long, as at ceremonies the mane would probably have been Platted.

Not sure on the bones though!

One of the beasties painted, it has been pointed out to me about the inaccuracies but the figures do not have to be correct all the time, why the horse  has a large main and tail and parts of old bodies are laying around I don't know? but it is a great figure to paint (-;

I do like the Crusader piece although the cross on the shield is a bit skewed and off-center (an easy fix). I'm assuming this is a larger scale - 75 - 100mm? The Vikings are nice too. 30mm?
