13th Division, 2nd Brigade

With the 7th and 12th regiments done, all that was left to complete the Brigade was a command stand. Here is General Travers and his aide de camp (ADC).

The ADC is a modified officer, on a trooper horse. As I had no uniform reference, I took an artistic license...





Here are some views of the completed Brigade. It is a small Brigade with only 4 squadrons. The 12th (pink facing) is to the left, the 7th (yellow) to the right.



All Perry miniatures (and all metals), painted between late May and early November 2015. Flags by GMB designs. Bases by Warbases. As in the 1st Brigade, I allowed 25mm frontage per horse.

I will base all the Division at the same time to get a uniform rendering across all units.

    1. Thanks Rupert - basing will make quite a significant difference, but I've got to admit I'm not an expert at it. It'll be hard work!

  2. Hi Blanchard, I followed you from your comment on 'Not just Old school wargames' blog. Great to see you're collecting at 1:20 scale 100 days Napoleonics -me too! You will see the majority of my cuirassiers (all 110 models + many other contributors bringing the total to 155 representing the 1st cuirassiers) of them on Chris Greggs blog as they appeared in the 1:3 scale refight of La Haye Saint. I have collected 6 cuirassier regiments at 1:20 scale to date plus many other French cavalry regiments. I think the painting you achieve is terrific - keep the good work up! I would also like to see them finished with bases some time in the future if you get the chance. Congratulations on a lovely paint job. Regards. Kevin

    1. Cheers Kevin, I am a keen follower of your blog indeed. I have been so impressed by your LHS refight project (quality, quantity, rate of production!), I can only wish my cuirassiers could have made a small contribution to your table :D

  3. Hi Blanchard, yes your cuirassiers would have made a fine addition to the thundering hooves of heavy French cavalry crossing the crop fields near La Haye Saint! Lots of Cuirassier photos coming up in the next blog article! Enjoy!
