Nice unit and interesting use of figures. I'd thought of using some of BG's King Philip's War mounted dragoons myself as TYW mounted arquebusiers. I was struck by how similar one of the BG mounted dragoons looked to some of the TYW light cavalry produced by Bohemian Troops.

I believe they are all Paul Hicks work?  Recommend the Mtd figures.  More a cavalry figure than a Dragoon as they all have pistols

The TAG range was sculpted by Nick Collier (who also sculpted the Renegade ECW range and the first part of the Bicorne ECW range). Paul Hicks sculpted both the BG King Philip's War range and the Bohemian Troops TYW range.  TYW dragoons would most likely have worn 12 apostles, might have worn shoes and might have carried musket rests. They would not have had horse pistols.

Looking at the pics on the Brigade Games website (I don't have the figures so can't inspect them up close), the BG mounted figures look like they could pass muster as late TYW arquebusiers or generic Reiter.
