6mm Napoleonic Commission

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

That's my ratios for irregular or pre uniformed eras (unless sources say otherwise, Dumas spends nearly a chapter describing D'Artagnan's yellow horse, only for him to sell it straight away)..
French Napoleonics (and Prussians up to 1870) do have formula.
E.G Cuirassiers are only Chestnut with black and then white for musicians.
Dragoons as above but introduce Bays.
Chasseurs and Hussars get the full mix.

(However, by the end of the Napoleonic period there was a general shortage of decent horses on the continent so you can get away with a more mixed look, it was only certain Btitish units like the Bays and the ascots Greys that had not been committed to campaign and kept monotonal horse colours)

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

ECW the horses would not be uniform. Blazes and socks are easy to add. Remember it's impression you are after, not absolute accuracy. (Will will shoot me down there)

After quite a few months of studiously ignoring the Guard for the French, here they are...
The Guards


French artillery, with howitzers at the top.

Even more top view, the saddle cloth has come out a lot more blue than I thought...


The riders


Grenadiers a Chevel (3 strips) and Gendarmes de Elite (2 strips)


More heavy horse flesh than ever.


Going the other way...

Very nice M.Speedy 

Looks like the Emperor has bestowed plenty of artillery support for them...en avent!!

Another batch of Dru's figures, which the keen-eyed amoungst you will recognise as Prussians doubling up as Saxons for 1806-7 to fight the French I have painted preiously. He will base up and I added the appropriate flags where needed. If Covid had not turned my brain to mush as I was trying to match flags to units, and I was so bored in isolation that thankfully, I could happily get on with it.

Infantry units Dygerri, Cerrini, Low, Niesermeuschel, Oebschelwitz, Prinz Anton, and Prinz Fredrich August


Attack in line?


From an observation kite?


Konig Infantry and Prinz Maximillian Infantry




Rear view of them


From a decent vantage point
