British 5th Dragoon Guards

Here we have the third regiment from the Heavy Brigade, the 5th Dragoon Guards. These figures are B4, Heavy Dragoon, mounted on BH1, British cavalry horses. At the time of the battle of Balaclava, the Heavy brigade consisted of five regiments of heavy dragoons - the 5th and 6th Dragoon Guards, the 1st Dragoons, 2nd Dragoons (Scots Greys) and the 6th Dragoons.

  1. Another great unit! If you have not already done so (and I might have just missed it), any chance of a photo or two of the entire Heavy Brigade? Do you a brigade command figure or two in the works?

    Best Regards,

  2. Thanks. I will be producing a picture of the Brigade (so far 3 regiments painted). I am trying to source a figure for Scarlett, the Heavy Brigade commander, but his dress is somewhat unorthodox. I have just completed a conversion of Cardigan, as the Light Brigade commander, and will show some pics of him a bit later too.
