Something Brighter

Having spent the last month more or less painting Prussian blue, grey and black, I thought it would be fun to try something more colourful.  I have had these French Guard Chasseurs a Cheval for some years and they were worn and faded and needed a face lift and rebasing.  In the end I almost completely repainted them but now they certainly add a splash of colour:







the figures are 25mm Miniature Figurines S range and they now take pride of place alongside my S Range French army.

    Yes! One of the loveliest Napoleonic cavalry uniforms anywhere.

    Best Regards,

      I would agree, green with red and orange work well together.

    This lot and the Polish lancers I brigade together to form my Guard Light Cavalry division. Makes quite a spectacle! Lovely job, as ever.

      I have a unit of Polish Lancers on the refurbishment table right now. They will be finished soon.

    They do seem to be very popular. Looking forward to giving them a turn on the wargames table too.
