First up are some Austrian Napoleonic cavalry. The riders are made up from a number of bits left over from the units I built earlier this year plus some spare horses from the Prussian generals project. The two cuirassier figures - one in a fatigue cap and the other with bandaged head (taken from the French FPW command set) - will make useful ADCs.
The three chevauxleger figures also use the excess horses to expand the Hohenzollen Chevauxleger Regiment completed in January. These three have the helmet without a crest (because I had used the crested helmets earlier. I have been used to up grade an existing six figure to a nine figure unit.
The sixth figure, a Russian mounted jager officer, is also a byproduct of the Prussian generals project. He will make a good brigadier or courier.
There are a few other bits and pieces in the bits box that will pass across the painting table in the next week or so.
These troopers look great, Mark!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jonathan...Austrian cavalry always looks grand.
DeleteBeautiful painted minis sir!
ReplyDeleteThank you Michal.
DeleteOdds and ends but all useful figures and all really, very well done Mark.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donnie.
DeleteMark, more exciting figures on your order of battle. Great brushwork.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe...helps to up the figure count i guess!
DeleteNice work Mark but I don't know how you (and Iain, end up with "spare" horses) I have heaps of legs, toros arms and heads etc - but I don't have any spare horses - and after looking at them on the Perrys site, it seemed like buying 12 separate horse sprues would be more or less the same cost as just buying another full box....?
ReplyDeleteYeah I bought six horses for conversion purposes, but didn't need them in the end, so just combined them with other left overs.
DeleteSome fine looking bits and bobs Mark…
ReplyDeleteAll the best. Aly
