I've been airbrushing horses:

The blacks have Vallejo Model Air 71034 Sandy Brown with Vallejo Model Air 71035 Camouflage Light Brown and Vallejo Model Air 71040 Burnt Umber for their undercoat and Vallejo Model Air 71057 Black as their upper coat.

These chestnuts were painted with Vallejo Model Air 71026 US Flat Brown for the undercoat, Vallejo Model Air 71032 Golden Brown and Vallejo Model Air 71035 Camouflage Light Brown for their upper coat. They have black socks.

I've broken out 12 HaT 8096 British Light Infantry and they'll represent 1 (Rifles) Light Battalion of 2 Brigade King’s German Legion.

They will be supplemented by Odemars (PF-14 Wellington’s Saff) Brigadier-General Sir Robert Crauford figure that I painted some time ago.

My next figure job is a mixture of ones I'd part-painted previously. These will form the 1st Battalion of the 4th King’s Own Regiment of Foot.

In my arbitrary way of deciding which figures to do next I delved into a box containing various officers. The first one out was a Prussian Adjutant Officer from the Italeri 6065 set. I selected 46 Airfix 01756, 7 x HaT 8053, 12 x 8309 and 14 x 8310 to go with him and form 1., 2. and 3. Bataillons, 1. (Kleven) Westfalen Landwehr Regiment 2403 men (73 figures) + 224 land Jagers (7 figures).

Basic tones have been sprayed.

I've not yet found out whether the Prussians allocated their horses by any way other than size. Cuirassiers had the biggest horses, then the Dragoons, Uhlans and Hussars, but as to their colours...

So I've gone for a variety.

They can be allocated to the squadrons later, either sorted or randomly allocated.

The men have hair.
