French Line Lancers

French Chevau-légers lanciers are my favorite Napoleonic cavalry. The mix of hunter green and extensive use of the regimental facing color creates a wonderful combination. The Dragoon helmet with a caterpillar comb completes the classic look of the era. And finally, the lances with their red and white swallow-tail pennons add a dash of danger and a splash of color.

These figures (both horses and riders) are Mirliton.

Painting by Scott MacPhee, except for the metal pennons, which I assembked and painted. I also added an extra coat of Floquil high gloss to give these guys some extra shine.
