French Lancers

Simply described in the catalogue as as a 'Light Horse Lancer', this figure was started at the same time as the Chasseur,  but I concentrated on getting the Chasseur finished first. Problem with it is the mass of braid across the chest...
Anyway, had to choose something, so nearest being a Gendarme Lancer I've loosely based the scheme on the figure on page 63 of Funcken.

Not exactly right but it'll do!

Overall, effect looks about right.
And I now have 2 French cavalry squadrons facing 1 British infantry battalion and 2 guns! Not the order I had originally intended to paint these!

    Crikey, Rob, they're coming thick and fast.
    I'm fascinated by the lancers. They look like those Lancier-gendarmes who were a bit of a feature in the Peninsula, or so I understand.

      That's basically what I've painted them as - 'Lancier-gendarme (Espagne, 1813)'

    Could be an interesting scenario, probably very quick to play but at least the French look good!

    It is an interesting thought, isn't it?
