Dragoons will definitely be on the list of things to do before Historicon.<BR/><BR/>I was cleaning and filing some more Garde du Corps figures today.

Which would be 5 more squadrons of dragoons, I believe.<BR/><BR/>Very nicely done, and quite the impressive display. Interestingly, today's mail brought command figures for my Hussars in Busby and a pack of Austrian Generals, both by Old Glory.Snickering Corpseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11207827630539622815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-35032616787142854322008-01-25T13:50:00.000-06:002008-01-25T13:50:00.000-06:00Alan: I think that can be arranged.There is the fa...Alan: I think that can be arranged.There is the fate of a certain prisoner to be determined, for one thing.

Yikes!<BR/><BR/>I have another 36 Suren dragoons that are partially assembled and are waiting in the cue. They will be used either to increase DR2 to at most 5sqds or I will use them to start on the Bayreuth Dragoons (DR5).<BR/><BR/>I have another dozen each of hussars to add a sqd to both of the existing hussar regiments. HR5 had 10 sqds, but I doubt that I would paint that many - 120 Black Hussars.<BR/><BR/>I have the third sqd of the Garde du Corps ready for painting and recently received the vexilum figure from the Foundry - they are the only ones who make it.<BR/><BR/>Eventually, Milady de Winter will have her own personal retinue of black hussars. I plan to use the new Eureka 100 Club Saxons for this because Eureka will also provide dismounted skirmishing figures that will fit the bill perfectly. The pose is with swords shouldered and no pelise - I like that.<BR/><BR/>Alan: when you ask about vignettes (please elaborate) do you refer to photographs or background stories? Either are easy enough to do.<BR/><BR/>I have some camp tents on order from HG Walls and the master builder Herb Gundt. Austrians and Prussians will both have a generals tent and some tents to make a camp scene for the rank and file. I will probably be adding bits and pieces to that as well. I am very influenced by what John Ray is doing with his AWI and Fulda setups.Der Alte Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578422757511400566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-85123030703932850172008-01-25T06:55:00.000-06:002008-01-25T06:55:00.000-06:00Bravo - and like tradgardmastare I particularly li...Bravo - and like tradgardmastare I particularly like the Black Hussars - really effective....Steve-the-Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077311120172727690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-87818978458211688362008-01-25T05:48:00.000-06:002008-01-25T05:48:00.000-06:00A beautiful display!Best Regards,StokesA beautiful display!<BR/><BR/>Best Regards,<BR/><BR/>StokesWSTKS-FM Worldwidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173042438761572040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-81185385287419239682008-01-25T03:07:00.000-06:002008-01-25T03:07:00.000-06:00Jim,Lovely figures and very very impressive . . . ...Jim,<BR/><BR/>Lovely figures and very very impressive . . . but the dragoons do seem very under-represented. <BR/><BR/>I hope that you do add a few more squadrons . . . an even two dozen squadrons in total seems right to me.<BR/><BR/><BR/>-- JeffBluebear Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595975572873838050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-2515903100247991462008-01-25T02:43:00.000-06:002008-01-25T02:43:00.000-06:00Great work.Out of curiosity, what is a 'Queen cons...Great work.<BR/>Out of curiosity, what is a 'Queen consort'?<BR/>Also, do you have plans for the vexilium for the Garde du Corps and perhaps a third squadron?Painted Soldierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16935114747216560429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-50163127883252287102008-01-25T01:58:00.000-06:002008-01-25T01:58:00.000-06:00JimWow -in the Grand Manner or what!
