Austrian Chevauleger no 3 O Riley Napoleonic 8

 Another Austrian cavalry unit that I started before the Analogue Hobbies painting challenge started which I have now finished gor Dave's paint what you've got challenge, in white( sorry Peter!) so could be pressed into service as dragoons if needed.  I was thinking of keeping them till March 17th as they're a wild geese unit in Catholic  Austria but figured I  couldn't wait that long!

 You can see the difference between the Foundry figures and the Perry French cuirassiers . Nevertheless nice figures, I'll just have to boost up the Foundry Austrian cuirassiers when I get to them!










Flag is Perry's, base's are warbases as I don't have time to cut my own! Next up more pike and shot of one kind or another!

Best Iain

      Thanks Jonathan, yes might be a big of a mistake as I only have 35 points so far on the Analogue Hobbies painting challenge,still I've got till March 20th to do the other 715 points worth!

    Another fine addition and on the road of getting ‘plenty’ of cavalry. The Perry’s have really helped Austrian collectors with their two most recent boxes of plastic cavalry.

      Thanks Norm, I've probably got too much cavalry to be honest!

    You're a bold man to do Austrians. That much white would break me ;)

    Great looking Austrian cavalry, Iain. The white coats are a nice contrast to the red saddle cloth.

    Lovely looking cavalry Iain…
    I certainly want to add some Austrians to my own (shiny) Napoleonic collection.

    All the best. Aly

    Lovely job on these Iain. Probably the most famous Austrian chevau-leger regiment.

    There is something most appealing about these minis, an undefinable vibe. I find these particularly interesting, pretty nice job.

    Great looking unit and even I instantly recognised them for what they represent, but it may be easy for you to "see the difference between the Foundry figures and the Perry French cuirassiers", but I'm the exception!

      Thanks Joe,it's just the cuirassiers that bothers me a little as they're meant to be big blokes on big horses, if it looks like they're riding ponies, it's not the look I want!

    Nice work Iain! The difference with the Perry figures is quite visible but I guess on the table it wouldn’t be so pronounced to the eye.

    Great looking cavalry, I liked the comment apologizing for the white! A nice addition to any force, looking forward to table top debut.

    Love the whites of the Austrians and it looks doubly good for their cavalry!
