Miscellaneous Napoleonic Cavalry

[k.b.]

As it seems that Cuirassiers are very much a theme here at the moment thought i'd throw into battle a few French heavies against their Russian counterparts.
In the heat of battle i am sure there was many an incident of friend killing friend. Perhaps not so often heavy cavalry, but taking into account the infinite variety of hussar uniforms i feel sure hussar compatriots must have suffered losses at the hands of their own or allied infantry, artillery and maybe even cavalry.

Great pictures!

.........one or two photos from other angles...... before a few reinforcements join the skirmish

Here a few Polish lancers have shown up to help their French allies............

[k.b.]

Some Cossacks hitting the French from behind suggests a gloomy end for Napoleon's cavaliers.

[Peter]

Don't you have more French cavalry Keith? It can't stop here!

[MABO]

Super and I like the groundwork in the last picture very much!

[Rich W]

They all look great with that scenery!

Thanks everyone for your comments

Okay! Surprise us!

Amidst the chaos of my work desk a few revamped French cavalry are beginning to emerge.......



....... perhaps there is still hope for Napoleon's apparently surrounded cavalry..........

[k.b.]

Here are a few Dragoons, the odd Chasseur, two or three Dutch Lancers and a couple of Hussars to even things up a little for the French.

Nice reinforcements! I love your work, your choices of colors especially, and above all, the conversion of a french dragoon in trousers is a great idea, I must try something similar one of these days.

[Beano Boy]

Great looking Napoleonic cavalry k.b.
i also love the chaos theory,
it is one i also am likely to employ. BB

[Rich W]

Highest quality figures on display here.

Thanks a lot gents for your words of incentive….
Here’s a more panoramic view of the melee:

Looking at this I realise that with my next batch of painted cavalry I need to change the colours of some of my horses to a darker shade of brown and a few more dark bays/blacks.

Marvellous stuff.

It´s a great pleasure to study your fight. Well done painting and still more a great talent to create a very vivid fight, wonderful!

Thanks Donald and sansovino for your nice words.

Here are a couple of shots from different perspectives.

And yet another……, this time taken with my iphone and strangely enough the focus seems a little better than on the automatic setting of my Canon. Suppose it’s high time I studied the manual and learnt how to improve my depths of field !
