Napoleonic Cavalry Roll Call
So, with the additional figures completed, here are the 8-figure cavalry units on parade. There are 5 French units: two units of 9th Hussars; a unit each of dragoons, cuirassiers and carabiniers. Only two British 1st KGL Hussar units at the moment. A Spanish heavy cavalry unit will be added soon.
Except for the recently painted 7 figures, the rest of the figures were painted some years ago.
All of the figures are Perry plastics.
Some Spanish style buildings in the background. Except for the later-styled carabiniers, all of these cavalry units participated in the Peninsular War.
The image below includes the 7 newly painted figures - along with earlier painted ones.
I am looking forward to a game day in September to see how these cavalry units will perform using Black Powder. I plan to limit movement to 12 inches per move. Thank you again for stopping by and checking out the blog.

Dean, your cavalry parade is a very impressive sight! I would enjoy seeing this collection in action.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jonathan. I've signed up to host a Black Powder game at Fix Bayonets in September. The venue is historic Fort Steilacoom. I know you travel to Puget Sound sometimes,so maybe you could make it. Kind regards, Dean

ReplyDeleteThank you kindly, Michael! Glad to see them en masse like this; before they were based in singles and I didn't have good movement trays for them. Regards, Dean

ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Greg! Warm regards, Dean
DeleteMagnifique! Inspiration for me to get to work on painting my own French cavalry.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words, Robert! I may have to help out the British with a box of Perry light dragoons. And I think French Chasseurs are mandatory units. :) Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteAh, the Perry Chasseurs. I have one unit painted and two more to do, all in metal from Front Rank, and so I don't need any more.
DeleteHad that not been the case, the plastic Chasseurs would have been a must-buy. They look gorgeous.
A grand looking parade of cavalry,a black powder game sounds splendid!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
