Finally finished up these small units of 8 figures each. Had slight bug the last few days which had me mostly in bed. Nothing serious, but stayed in bed a couple days resting. Anyway, these are supposed be the Prussian Regiment No. 3 Dragoons in light blue litewka, Russian St. Petersburg and Kargopol Dragoons in pink and orange facings, respectively; Russian Tchougoulev Uhlans; and Prussian Silesian Landwehr Uhlans.
Based a few as singles for possible skirmish games.Although 12 (or more) figure cavalry units do look more impressive, I've used 8 figure units in the past well enough.Since I plan on trying out Valour and Fortitude, more units should work better for the game.No sooner was I finishing up these figures, the long-awaited Perry order of Prussian infantry finally arrived. It was indeed mailed out on December 12th, but only arrived on January 7th. So, the Prussian Reserve units can finally be completed with their commands - and then on to two Prussian Line units. Hope you all are doing well - although there's been a lot of serious stuff going on these past few week, not the least those devastating fires in Southern California.
Fantastic Dragoons and Uhlans Dean, really impressive!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words again, Mike! Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteSuperb paint work as always, Dean - I really love your crisp, tidy style - all the details really pop out at the viewer - and 8 figure cavalry units seem fine to me; as long as all players involved base the same way, it doesn't matter if its 4 6 8 10 or 12 figures - or more, if you are a megalomaniac with more money than sense!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great comment, Keith. Yes, these will be used in games which I provide armies for both sides, so unit sizes will be standard. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteAmazing work Dean!

Thank you very much, Christopher! Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteSplendid looking Allied cavalry,they look great! I use eight figures for my Great Italian Wars and 17th century collections but gave in and went for twelve figure units for Napoleonics, having more money than sense(?) as Keith has helpfully pointed out!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
