Richard: I really like the chap turning in the saddle, and I specifically asked Brian to produce a figure in this pose. I am not, however, sure how true to life it is. I think I read somewhere that cuirassiers wore straps under their armour which restricted twisting and turning. But I don't care......
The unit will eventually have 32 figures including standard bearers, trumpeters and officers.

Quite right - it's a lovely pose.

Gosh, 32 figures :o That's a heck of a unit.

One day I would love to come and view your collection :)

I do prefer bigger units, and my infantry units are 40+ figures. I think it's because having bigger units means you can get a better proportion of ordinary soldiers to officers, standard bearers, trumpeters etc.

Please get in touch if you're in our area (for obvious reasons you know where I live) and we'll see if we can fix something up.  :)

Is that the Warlord Arthur Haselrig I see second from the left? A lot of character in that one.

Basin is Back: yes, it is. His legs have been lengthened a bit, but basically the same figure.
