7th & 8th Cuirassiers & command

I've just finished these guys - they have yellow facings so would be good for the 7th, 8th and 9th regiments. As usual with AB they are easy to paint up, however I did notice that the 'at rest' pose hides more detail than the charging pose. I have another four 12 man regiments of these to paint. I was envisaging Marshal Ney leading an all out charge up the slope at Mont st Jean!

Flags are by AB this time.

The command is supposed to represent one of the Corps commanders, although the actual Nansouty figure is hidden on the 7ths command base!

  4. Nice array of heavy cavalry! These ought to strike fear into their opponents.

  5. Excellent. I commissioned a unit of AB cuirassiers last year. At Xmas I picked up a bag of Old Glory cuirassiers as well. As I already have enough for Waterloo they are not top of my painting priority, but they are my favourite Napoleonic unit.

  6. Thanks Roger, Jonathon and SoY

    The AB's are nice, I find the OG horses a bit small compared wth AB, but they are still nice sculpts.

  7. Great stuff Ken. I really like the bases, and it's always good to see the heavies getting painted.
