New cavalry units

I have been busy with the holidays and work lately but I did find time to paint a couple new units of French cavalry - Royal Carabiniers.  I painted up only two of the 5 brigades to start with as I didn't want to overload the French with elite cavalry.  I also had the Nugent/Fitzjames unit painted up by Javikos Studios in Spain who can be commissioned through Ioannis.  All flags are done by The Flag Dude.









If anyone wants me to take the pictures in a different way please let me know and I'll try to accomodate you.  And these 3 new units didn't help the French at the convention game one bit.  The French cav got crushed.

  1. Great paint job, they look very nice, I like the flags and the fleur de lys on the trumpet banner looks really cool.

  3. We base our rules for a home grown set but we could easily use them for BLB by Barry Hilton. Right now all infantry battalions are at 24 figures and a cavalry unit is at 12 figures which is 2 squadrons for us.
