Those Yeoman make the wait worth it. Love all the rifle volunteers, regulars and Bavarians.

[Blackwolf]

Brilliant,love the Rifles 

[Silent Invader]

Thanks chaps.

I think it interesting that with the inclusion of various Volunteer and Yeomanry units, the Victorian Redcoats of the British regulars will be only a small part of a very colourful mix.

It’ll actually be the Bavarians who are all in one colour (and their lighter blue is so much prettier than the Prussians!  ).

Wonderful project and execution. The minis and terrain are ace! 

I also prefer the Bavarians to the Prussians but am also looking forward to seeing more of your Volunteer and Yeomanry British army.

Dashing Dandies all of them!

Who doesn’t like a dashing dandy?

I don't know how useful these guys would be in your games, but they would look really shiny on the table.

Thanks very much for the thought: yes I’ve seen them and they’re a possibility, though I think I would swap the horses over to Perry plastics for project consistency. They are on the reserve list for when I’ve made more progress with the 300 odd figures I’ve already got.

I can see the perry horse swap, and yeah might want to put a dent into that block of 300 before we add more figs to the list.

Well I’ve only gone and ordered 12 of them.  (plus the 1866 Bavarian artillery crew)

So now the plan is for 3 units of British cavalry:

12 x Household Cavalry Lifeguards (Regulars in red tunics)
12 x Essex Yeomanry Cavalry (Volunteers in blue coats)
12 x Loyal Suffolk Hussars (Volunteers in green coats)

The irony is that I started this project as I really like the Eagles of Empire Bavarian Infantry but I’ll actually end up with twice as many British. Though the two forces will be of broadly similar points as the Bavarians are FPW battle-tested warriors and the British are mostly civilian volunteers and Home Depot parade troops and invalids.  Though the Brits will be very colourful.

Isn't that the way of it. I am holding off on buying a bunch of perry horse holders and dismounted union Cav at the moment tell after I finish my move sometime in July or August. 
So I guess the Yeoman and Hussars will be green light cav. Are you Going to use the Guard as Shock cav?
