Duke of Cumberland's Huzzar story; dismounted British Light Dragoons muster; Mounted Carlist officer completed

 Talk of tough luck. Not only do they have a rep for running. Turns out it is true.   According to a wicky and a supporting article. the unit, which was mad up of some posh types who believed that looking the part was their only duty. 

But then, they did not leave after  suffering 40 to 60 effective to artillery fire .   

 Anyway, done and based, although I will add grass later.

 The W I P  photo from earlier,

 where they are hiding behind the Bremen and Verden Hussars.


  Still in second rank, but finished for now.


 Bonus, the dismounted light dragoons are now fully mustered.

    




                       And finally the Carlist officer, first mounted one painted. \

  

   Lots of playing with fast paints !


                              Came out pretty good.  Using him as a Basque unit commander in the Imaginations campagn.

Very nice work on all counts! They all look really good. Maybe your Hussars will be better than the real thing on the battlefield!

I hope for the unit to do better than in real life. Otherwise I will have to start a new project in modeling----a latrine.

I have the Luneberg and possibly a KGL in the assembly stage. But you'll be correct, my level of hussars is low overall. 3 Russian, 2 Prussian and the 2 Hanoverian for now. The Austrian get the next hussars as they are in the to be painted pile.

I think we all need more hussars, I know I do, and also Light Dragoons/ Chasseurs a Cheval, depending on the army! Nice work Joe.

I need a lot of cavalry. Maybe this year I will have some time for the mounted arm. Lots of Perry plastic in the basement.
Your brush has been busy! I especially like the mounted Carlist.

Thanks, glad you like them.

Jonathan, the figures for the huzzars were a long time partly done. The Carlist officer turned out much better than I thought.

Sometime you just have to go for the flashy uniforms, regardless of their battlefield record!

It seems to be one of the myths about Waterloo that holds up to closer inspection. They look beaut though, so be d@mned.
Hussars are a given. Gotta have 'em!
Regards, James

James, thanks, I did like the idea of a trio of Hanoverians in huzzar uniforms. Just have the Luneberg regiment to go.
