Happy New Year everybody!
After a break (almost one week, we had a great time with our families, both in Orléans and Aix-en -Provence), I'm back to the brushes, once again with Napoleonic horsemen, and among the most impressive: the Mamelouks de la Garde Impériale.
Bonaparte recruited some Mamelukes during the campaign of Egypt. Several dozens eventually followed the French army back to France, where they formed a squadron attached to the Chasseurs à cheval de la garde.
According to the ruleset I might use for wargaming, I only need 2 or 3 riders to complete the squadron. So this unit is virtually complete :)
Hope you like them :)
Oh, by the way, this blog is now 3 years old since the end of december.

RépondreSupprimerThanks! I keep on painting as long as I can.
SupprimerAwesome work. They look suitably colourful and dashing.
RépondreSupprimerThank you! The Napoleonic figures are usually colorful (at least in parade dress), but the Mamelukes are a step ahead.
SupprimerUn anniversaire fêté de fort belle manière, ils sont superbes!
RépondreSupprimerMerci Phil! Il faudrait que je peigne des cavaliers de chacune des unités de la garde, ce serait joli à défaut d'être jouable.
SupprimerGreat work!
RépondreSupprimerThanks!
RépondreSupprimerThey look fantastic! Happy New Year!

RépondreSupprimerGreat to see the first HAT set again painted. Great paintjob!
RépondreSupprimerThank you very much Uwe. Oh I remember how I was excited when I discovered this set, it was beyond my dreams :)
SupprimerBeautifully painted. The mameluks are so lovely that one can always paint a few more as 'supports' of for other scales of rules!
RépondreSupprimerThank you! It might be that I paint a few others one of these days, they are so colorful.
