These have been on a slow burner these past three weeks, but finally the 1st (Royal) Dragoons are ready for inspection. The figures are all rather lovely sculpts for Brigade Games done by Paul Hicks. My daughter Jasmin bought them for e for my birthday last month.
Here is a view that the British Generals and Infantry were more than used to in the period as they gallop off into the distance after their fox.
And there they go again in the other direction, they would be dangerous if they obeyed orders!
Some close-ups of a few of the bases.
It's not the horses that take the time, it's all the fuss that goes into the riders.
I have the rest of the Union Brigade "on deck", but will paint some infantry next as a palette cleanser.
Those are beauties, Scrivs. Can't go wrong with Hicks' sculpts. Interesting how Brigade Games picked up those ranges.
ReplyDeleteThese troopers are beauties, for sure. Hicks is one of the best sculptors in my opinion.
DeleteThanks Dean, Paul does do quite a bit of work for Brigade and I'm happy these great figs are available.
DeleteCheers Jonathan, I'm inclined to agree
DeleteBeautiful looking unit!
ReplyDeleteThank you Michal
DeleteGreat job! Great to see some heavy cavalry. The new helmetes were a so much better than the old bicornes. Funny that they adopted helmets the French started using during the seven years war.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jim,
DeleteIt was a strange time, the light dragoons swapped the Tarleton for a shako while the heavy dragoons went the other way and swapped a bicorn for a helmet.
Nice details, wonderful looking cavalry!
