Giant Commission -- Guard Cavalry Reinforcements

Freshly sealed this morning are these 18 cavalry reinforcements for Napoleon's guard!  Before this commission I had never painted any Imperial Guardsmen.  Now I am feeling quite expert.








This batch completes Glenn's reinforcements.  On to the Prussians!

  2. These really look the part! They will really shine at Austerlitz in April.

    1. Thank you, Jon! I think I like the lancers the best.

  4. They look great, Scott! The facing color of the (presumably 1st/"Polish") Chevau-leger Lanciers does seem a bit off to me. It is usually depicted as a deep crimson shade with a slightly purplish hue, while these appear mnore of a light lilac color. It may be the lighting, and/or the psychometric effects of colors when painting smaller figures, though.

    1. Hmm. Maybe it is a bit light, but my sources show it as a purple. Darker than this, to be sure.
