A 12 point game will now be on 4ft by 4ft table. I have enough figures for 24 points, or so, a side.

Fantastic looking units.


Willz.

At long last I can paint something that isn't 10mm ACW (I've painted nothing else since August)!

I'm starting with some AB Young Guard Chasseurs a Cheval for the 1813 Campaign, then some SYW French Hussars and then a load of SYW British and Hanoverian cavalry, generals and artillery.

The last of the termies and marine bits for Space Hulk. Carrying on with Stealers thereafter

Bad guys - experimenting with camouflage.

Unfortunately, the experiments I really like are completely unhistorical.

The guy doing the cossack dancing is good.

Almost finished the Young Guard Chasseurs. Just got the horses to finish and then the metallics:

That's the Young Guard Squadrons of the 2nd Guard ('Red') Lancers and the Young Guard Squadrons of the Guard Chasseurs a Cheval finished (AB Figures). There were an awful lot of Young Guard cavalry knocking around in the later 1813 campaign and they spent most of the campaign split off from their parent regiments, grouped in separate brigades and used as de facto regiments in their own right. AB now do specific figures for the YG Chasseurs (I was just about to use 1815 Dutch Hussars when AB brought them out), while the AB Vistula Legion Lancers are perfect for the YG Lancers (with Old Guard officers and trumpeters):

Excuse my ignorance, but why did the 2nd Lancers R&F not have red tunics?

The YG Sqns wore reversed-colour tunics (blue with red facings). I can't find any info on the officers, so stuck in an old guard regimental officer on secondment, wearing his red tunic. Some old guard officers and trumpeters seconded to the young guard chasseurs wore their old uniforms, so there is form for that sort of thing.
