Perry Chasseurs à Cheval in Campaign Dress

Another unit of plastic Perry cavalry. Again, these are in an 8-figure unit which should facilitate troop movement on smaller tables.
With slight variations to collars and cuffs (as well as shades), orange facings were used for the 13th, 14th, 15th, 19th, 20th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd and 24th. Most of these regiments served in the Peninsula.
They originally were going to have sky-blue facings, but I switched to orange as it contrasts the green better, IMO.
I need to get a pair of metal studded trousers; they are way cool.
Another unit each of French Chasseurs and British Dragoons are next in the painting queue. I have committed to hosting a small Black Powder game in a couple of weeks at a game day. I say small because the tables are only 5x6' and hope to have 6 players. Yes, quite tight for the rules, but I've reduced the movement and ranges by a third, as well as reducing figures per unit.
So much for now; thanks again for stopping by, and best regards to you all!

  2. Great looking chasseurs! I think my chasseurs are pushing up my paint que as I'm being threatened with a napoNapole game and have no cavalry!

  13. Agreed, orange and green better choice than sky blue. You are cranking these boys out.

    1. Thanks, Kevin. I am finishing up a second unit with yellow facings. Also a nice contrast with the green. Kind regards, Dean

  14. They look great, Dean! There was only a single unit of French Chasseurs with sky blue facings - two of the three in the “light blue” series if numbers were disbanded during the Republic for “acts of indiscipline”.

    1. Thanks for the info, Peter. BTW, I may someday paint up some line lancers in green with sky blue facings. Kind regards, Dean

    2. I do, of course, have that light blue faced regiment in my own collection... along with the light blue faced 5e chevau-leger lanciers, another favorite unit. :-)

  15. Years back, pictures of your painted Victrix British 3rd line Regiment inspired me to buy my first Victrix figures. I've been buying and painting Victrix ever since but I'll never match you! Terrific paint job.
