Charge Of The Light Brigade 17th Lancers Painted (1 Viewer)

9thHussar,

I like these to! The sword arm poses on the figures are pretty good. Your paint job works well and I like the "grass" on the bases.

I'm not up on British cavalry. Was it the custom to have the buglers on different colored horses from the troopers? I know that in some units they tried to "match" the colors of the horses in each troop.

Hi Scott
glad you like em

yes the bugler or trumpeter was usually, but not always mounted on a white or grey horse so that the Officer could pick him out easier from the others.

These were enjoyable to paint - its all good fun at the end of the day but I have run out of room to display any more figures so these have to go to somebody else.

Next lots will be the 13th LD and 8th Hussars plus the 16th Lancers in Red coatees in India

Regards,
Dave
