Title: (Army Painters 2015) - French Cavalry c.1812 - 30 Dec
Post by: janner on 31 December 2014, 02:43:38 PM

So here's the bulk of my 2015 project (two Horse Artillery Batteries are missing from the photo):

Two regiments of French Cuirassiers (four medium units for BP) with two brigade commanders and supporting Light Horse Lancer squadron (one small unit for BP., and two squadrons of Light Horse Lancers (one medium unit for BP):

The aim will be to paint a six figure squadron per month, interspaced with the command stands and guns.

I intend to continue with both my 2013 and 2914 projects, but I want to draw some Army Painter peer group support to crack this one in line with the next Black Powder supplement.

You know how it is   ;)

So here we are, twelve months later. Inevitably, there was a degree of mission creep, leading to three, single regiment brigades with supporting artillery and light horse lancers:

A French Heavy Cavalry Division c.1812 set-up for Black Powder rules: Eighty seven cavalrymen and four cannon with limbers - all 28mm metals by Perry Miniatures. Flags by GMB and MDF bases by Warbases.

What a finish to 2015.  That is a great looking army.
