From RichardM - Napoleonic French cavalry in 6mm (245.5 points)

This week started with an intention to get six French Dragoon regiments done to end the challenge.  Good progress on these saw me pull out two additional regiments - early French Carabiniers and then when Curt extended by a day I decided to push and add an additional two French Chasseur regiments.  Again these are all 6mm Adler Miniatures 

So I'll start with the six French Dragoon regiments.



A random three dragoon regiments from the side

There were a random 11 foot dragoon figures so I did these while I had the colours out.


I already have the later French Carabiniers but wanted to add the early ones given how different their uniform was - so two early French Carabinier regiments.



And lastly two French Chasseur regiments.



Points

10 regiments of French cavalry so 240 figures @ 1 point each = 240 points
11 French Foot Dragoons foot figures  @ 0.5 points each = 5.5 points

Total = 245.5 points


From Millsy:

Six dragoon regiments in one go is something else. One of the joys of this scale is the ability to do proper cavalry divisions and what a sight they make! And then you added a few more regiments for good measure! Lovely work mate, and probably my favourite of your Naps apart from the Confederation of the Rhine.

What a way to close out your Challenge. This takes you past 2000 points so well done indeed.

Cheers,
Millsy

  3. Great stuff Richard, good to see that you managed to get so many regiments done. I've enjoyed talking with you about these figures and hearing of your progress over the months. It must be a huge collection by now and one that we all want to see posted in a round up post. Well done Mate

    1. Thanks Dave. I agree with the mass effect and the small scale is so good for that. I am looking forward to being able to do massed Curaissier regiments in the not too distant future.
