From PaulSS: 1st (Royal) Dragoons (120pts)

Having been on a slow burner these past three weeks, the 1st (Royal) Dragoons are (almost*) ready for inspection.

The figures are all rather lovely sculpts for Brigade Games done by Paul Hicks.

Here is a view that the British Generals and Infantry were more than used to in the period as they gallop off into the distance after their fox.

Some close-ups of a few of the bases.

These have been a long time on the painting table, as one of life's natural infantrymen I find painting cavalry can be rather a chore and these seemed exceptionally so. It's not the horses that take the time, it's all the fuss that goes into the riders.

*I have an order wending it's way to the US from GMB Designs, so the ensign will get his colours soon after that arrives, at the moment he's just gesticulating open handed at the Rupert.

I have the rest of the Union Brigade "on deck", but will paint some infantry next as a palette cleanser.

Twelve 28mm cavalry figures will add 120 points to my total and should take me just over my target for the challenge, it's all gravy from here on in!

28mm Napoleonics Duel Totalizer: 26 mounted, 73 foot, 3 guns
