For my second contribution I chose a unit of Austrian Cuirassiers from the 7YW. Well tell a lie really, because originally these figures started as Napoleonic Russian Cuirassiers from Zvezda. But since I do not collect Russian Napoleonics and do need some more hard hitting Austrian cavalry for my 7YW army I decided to cheat a little and swap some heads. The paint scheme is loosely based on the Serbelloni Cuirassiers and I kinda like how they turned out.
Now on to some Napoleonics.

Ah, it's great to see some tricorne-era troops being submitted to the Challenge. Lovely stuff Sander and a great conversion from their Russian origins. I really like the rich detail on your saddle blankets and the pistol holsters - very nice.
These eight converted cavalry will give you 72 Points
Fine work Sander :)

ReplyDeleteNice work Sander. I'd never had guessed that these were once Napoleonics!
ReplyDeleteGreat work on those Sander!
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic figures, full of colour. Well done and very inventive use of the Zvesda figures.
ReplyDeleteGreat work the 18th century is the prettiest in warfare

ReplyDeleteSimple, yet very effective conversion and a great paint job. Love them.
