Basing cavalry: Heavy cavarly

Cuirassiers brigade


A mixed brigade: Dragons/Cuirassiers


Another Cuirassiers Brigade

A Dragons Brigade

The figures were really a joy to paint but still there is this issue of the thick bases. I will add some putty from Vallejo to blend in the bases.

Giving it a thought, I think I will paint more cavalry bases for Waterloo. It looks now achievable. I still think that 10 to 12 horse a base is enough.

Hi.
I've just discovered your blog. Two words: interesting and wow! Beatiful minis, great painting job.
I also want to do some napoleonic armies in 6mm for Grande Armee, and I wanted to know the brand of your french cavalry. They look lively. Are they from Adler?

Hi Sebastofig,

Thanks for the comments. The cavalry is indeed from Adler and we are playing Fast Play Grande Armee.

Marvellous minis. What is the siz of bases you use? 5cm x 5cm ?
