28mm Brigade Games - Napoleonic - Dismounted French 30th Dragoons

 Here's a small unit of 10 dismounted French Dragoons - le 30e Régiment de Dragons. They've been on the desk for years, partially completed. French Cavalry, in particular, took a beating during this campaign. and long before a single flake of snow fell. I made the snow patchy to indicate overcoats weren't yet required. Also, there aren't any vendors who seem interested in doing dismounted cavalry in winter gear in any quantity. I'd love to have some Hussars with their pellisses on and buttoned up, shooting carbines, waving sabres. No market for such a thing I'm informed. 

I really need to get to the French Voltiguer company for this game, but as you can see, I like to flit about. I'm committed (sorta) to not adding new things to the workbench unless I finish something already on it. 






Some WIP shots



Some action shots


Overall, they came out fine. I feel like I just learned that there was a dismounted horse holder. I would have liked to have included that here, but I don't own that one. 

I'm not sure what's next - possibly some odds and ends, buildings, trees, maybe some female camp followers.

In any event, thanks for looking - questions, comments and followers are welcome and encouraged! I'm doing more and more on Facebook so follow my page there too! https://www.facebook.com/One-of-My-Men-Became-Restless-100659928063858
