They're in the 1812 onwards uniform but I'll be using them for the 1809 campaign as no one else was making plastic French dragoons for the earlier period and the overall silhouette says French dragoons to me!
No flag until after lockdown. I wasn't going to do flags for the light cavalry, having looked at French cavalry on Chasseur's splendid blog I will follow his example and not give flags to any of the cavalry units in the future, it will only be this unit that has them!
I'll probably also use them against nephew 1s Brits in Spain and nephew 2s Russians, hes painted his Russians and is breathing down my neck so there should be more Napoleonic French, cavalry and infantry down the line.
So another 120 points to add to my total, bringing me to 295. More Napoleonic troops in the que but they will be a while, probably more Dux Bellorum up next!
All the best Iain
Nice job Iain

Really nice cavalry, ideally suited to thrashing British and/or Russian troops.
ReplyDeleteCheers Stuart! Let's hope so!

1812 uniforms for 1809 games?!?!? I won’t tell anyone if you won’t ;)
ReplyDeleteThese look splendid and will certainly look dashing on the tabletop.
Thanks Jamie! I knew I could rely on your discretion!

What a great looking regiment of Dragoons. I just picked up the Brigade Games horse-holders (Paul Hicks' sculpts) and they are lovely (and they are in the earlier, long-tailed coats).
ReplyDeleteThanks Curt! They'll do and the Brigade Games figures sound interesting!

Lovely looking dragons, the yellow is great. I prefer the long tailed coat myself but go with what there is. Besides the differences in lapels and tails disappear to large degree when on horseback.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter! Yes you have said what I thought except much more clearly and succinctly than I could!

Well done Iain! Don’t have a clue about Naps, so I wouldn’t mind seeing them in games set at start of the Napoleonic Wars till the end of the same.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Nick! I know, I know, button counting!

One does not see nearLy enough French dragoons on the wargames table, so a very commendable unit! They look great, with the elite company and all. Nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Martijn!
