Really? I'm no expert, but I thought the British Legion sported Tarleton helmets not mirlitons.

Edit. Queen's Rangers Hussars?

While I agree with the headgear comments, I will say they are very nicely painted...

Yes, they are Queens Rangers. I mislabeled the photos. My mistake.

No worries here.  Still Loyalist cavalry.  Like I said, they look good!

If they were really British Legion they'd be commanded by some old fart who never served a day, wearing his dad's medals and telling you that you're wearing your poppy wrong.

(Lovely painting!  :D )

Totally agree. You could call them the Seventh Cavalry for all I care.

According to that TV series Turn, commanded by a psychopathic killer. We all know how accurate TV is.  ;)
And the glorious general led the advance
With a glorious swish of his sword and his lance
And a glorious clank of his tin-plated pants. - Dr. Seuss
