I had managed to do one Guard horse battery and two Horse Grenadiers so my French Guard cavalry were not exactly up to strength. So a big thank you to Richard for being not only an excellent painter but much quicker at it than me. So far I have:
- one regiment of 40 Horse Grenadiers;
- one regiment of 40 Chasseurs a Cheval;
- half a regiment of 20 Polish lancers;
- two horse batteries.
Some close ups of the Horse Grenadiers:
The two I had painted before I came across Richard are very similar in style, and so match in well, but I had also tried to do the trim around the saddle cloth with a line of dark blue between the main trim colour. So he is handily identifiable and I have made him the colonel of the regiment.
The Polish lancers:
The Chasseurs a Cheval:
And finally the horse batteries:
Great looking unit large units too . You have found a talented painter there , and nicely matched with your own. you will remember that's how I built my French and Russians with a mix of my own and commissioned stuff. Fond memories of that collection - wonder where it is now.
