Ratch Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 HäT 8002 Napoleonic Prussian Dragoons 1815 5th Dragoner (Brandenburgisches, ‘Prinz Wilhelm von Preussen’) Historically dragoons were mounted infantry, but by the Napoleonic wars they had become purely cavalry. They came midway between the heavy and light category, but a large part of the cavalry was made up of them, mainly because they were the cheapest. Still they did not enjoy the same reputation and status as the cuirassiers or the hussars. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratch Posted December 3, 2017 Author Share Posted December 3, 2017 Thanks Vince, I had originally painted them grey, but a googleimage search throws them up in blue - National colour maybe, like the Brits had grey and the French had green 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredG Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 The Prussians used blue on their woodwork. The link leads to a list of the colours used by nation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratch Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 A simple conversion, taking HäT Rocket Troops (8003), supplemented by an Esci (233) and an Airfix (01746) artillery figure and utilising some of the heads I'd previously cut from HäT (8025) Waterloo Dutch Infantry to make them into Heinemann's Brunswick Horse Artillery 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
