Re: Chasseurs a Cheval of the Guard

Amazing display!

Re: Chasseurs a Cheval of the Guard

Wow that is a lot of French Cavalry!!! But wonderful work yet again.

Are those the attached Mameluke squadron in blue? Couldnt quite make it out but are those blue braided "hussar" dolmans rather than the traditional clothing the HaT set have? Havent painted mine yet so just wondered.

Re: Chasseurs a Cheval of the Guard

Many thanks all! No, the Mameluke squadron aren't shown but have been completed. The figures have largely had head changes - Airfix Hussar heads with a pin attached to give the side plume. Figures without pelisses have had them attached.

The blue effect may be a trick of the light as all the figures are in green dolmans, red pelisses and buff breaches.

Re: Chasseurs a Cheval of the Guard

i thought the troops in the light blue , were the trumpeters

Re: Chasseurs a Cheval of the Guard

Amazing! You never fail to impress and inspire. Thanks for sharing!

Re: Chasseurs a Cheval of the Guard

Ah yes I can see now that it is indeed the trumpeters. I forgot they had white busbys.

Either way, its still a lot of amazing figures!!

Re: Chasseurs a Cheval of the Guard

Dear General Picton,

This is such an exciting pleasure to see all the details of your Conversion Work you have done to be able to display such a frightening looking charge representing Waterloo. I can imagine the fear the opponents would be feeling seeing this charge coming towards them. Absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing here and keeping the Strelets Friday Tradition alive!
