Very sharp-looking, as always.
Now what is this whole life of mortals but a sort of comedy, in which the various actors, disguised by various costumes and masks, walk on and play each one his part, until the manager waves them off the stage?

Thanks. I'm starting off with two regiments, each of four six figure squadrons, plus a single squadron of lancers.

In Black Powder terms, each regiment will form a brigade of two medium size units (plus a small unit of lancers in one case) and horse artillery battery.

I'd eventually like to add the third regiment to complete the division :)

Here is the final squadron for my 2e Cuirassiers.



Once I've completed the brigade command stand, I post up a group shot.

More photos, as well as some discussion on horse tones on my blog  :)

Looking good, I like the dappled grey.

You're what, 25% done? Right on track to complete these. I also didn't realise all the other stuff you've painted this year - well done.

Based on the original plan, I'm over a third of the way now. However, I've just ordered enough lead from the Twins to add the third Cuirassier Regiment, extra commanders, and a second battery of horse artillery.  :o

This will mean squeezing the batteries, commanders, and lancer squadron in amongst my other monthly tasks, but I thought that if I didn't crack the whole Division this year, I'd never get around to finishing it off  ;)

I've a couple of troopers from 3a Cuirassiers already done and plan to complete the first two brigade command stands this month. So all should be fine  ::)
