Cavalry Refit: British Heavy Dragoons
Another pair of cavalry units make it out of refit and reorg. Each unit received one additional recruit and a rebasing exercise from four stands of two figures each to three stands of three figures each. This time two British heavy dragoons units make it off the workbench. The two units are the 3rd Dragoon Guards and the 4th Dragoon Guards. Two fine British cavalry regiments. Figures are Front Rank.
What remains in the cavalry refit and reorganization? Waiting their turn at the recruitment center are two KGL cavalry units, two French hussar units, and a unit of Vistula Legion lancers.
Great work Jonathan - lovely work on these FR figures and excellent basing!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Keith!
DeleteGood work Jonathan, as always. Looking forward to the next cavalry units.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dmitry! You will not have long to wait.
DeleteCracking work again Jonathan!
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated, Fran!
DeleteA couple of splendid looking cavalry units.
ReplyDeleteThanks much, Peter!
DeleteVery nice, that is a goodly number to process. I prefer basing of three to the basing of two and the extra figure in the line-up does add something to visual presence that seems greater than one would think a single figure would make.
ReplyDeleteYes, I am preferring the three figures to two as well. The odd number of stands and the ueven number of figures per stand adds an aesthetically pleasing ‘odd’ effect to the unit.
DeleteThey look splendid, another great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Phil!
DeleteFigures look good! This is starting to be the never ending project! Which makes it like a lot of other wargaming projects so no matter. 😀
ReplyDeleteKeep chugging away at it!
My projects rarely seem to have an end! As always, I keep plugging away...
DeleteUsed to seeing the heavies in helmets (but that might just be my lack of familiarity with the British). I like the look of the bicornes!
ReplyDeleteI like the look of the early heavies in bicorne too!
DeleteGod looking units, great job on the roster additions.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteGood looking stuff. I like how a few variations in sword position can add a lot of animation to the unit.
ReplyDeleteThank you! You are right! The sword variation does help to animate the unit.
DeleteWouldn’t like to face these chaps on the table! 😄
ReplyDeleteThe British heavies look menacing.
DeleteVery great work
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mark!
DeleteNicely done. I did try staring at the enlarged photos for a while to see if I could pick the "new guy", but couldn't. (Which one is he, by the way?)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lawrence! I will need to look closely too to identify the new recruit!
DeleteBeautiful unit!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteNice job and great matching of the new to old figures!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I guess I have only one way to paint and that method has not changed in years.
DeleteBeautiful brushwork Jonathan.
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated, Ray! Your latest WWI game sure looked great.
DeleteLovely looking British cavalry units, you can't see the join!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Glad you like them!
DeleteLovely looking toys Jonathan.
ReplyDeleteAll the best. Aly
Thank you, Aly!
DeleteI like the new basing a lot. I can't wait to see these on the table!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Scott! We will plan a game.
DeleteExcellent Dragoons Jonathan! What rules are you using?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mike! I have been using rules of my own doing. If you are interested in reading how the rules play, search the blog using terms “28mm Peninsular War” and “Battle Report” to find several examples.
DeleteThey are lovely Jonathan. I think I prefer the dragoons in bicorne over the late helmet.
ReplyDeleteVery kind of you, Mark. I prefer the earlier headgear too!
DeleteThey look great... but better you than me for this kind of project! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I am ok with this sort of work.
DeleteLovely looking cavalry Jonathan! I really like Front Rank figures.
ReplyDeleteChristopher
Front Rank figures are tops!
