Title: GNW Russian Dragoons - Options?
Post by: jaztez on 29 June 2017, 01:36:23 PM
Guys, from what I can see the only dragoons figure I can use is the one from the Marlburian range?

If so that means half my army will be the same figure in the same pose.

Are there any other figures I can use, or plans to release for example horse Grenadiers?

If you're looking for tricorn, crossbelts and musket, then I'm afraid that's the only one I can think of.  The LoA range has got them but they're in hats instead of tricorns, and there's a variety of mounted grenadiers in the SYW ranges but they're all in grenadier mitres and not tricorns.

Of course the GNW Russians already have dragoons in felt caps for some variation.

Hi guys, wow fast responses, thanks!

I didn't notice the dragoons in kartuz listing. That helps.

Leon, I mean horse Grenadiers, basically dragoons with mitres, so I'm guessing the SYW wouldn't be in the long coats with no turnbacks.  Guess I could put in a request  ;)

If the headgear is OK then they could be an option.  The coats/turnbacks issue isn't as noticeable on the mounted figures so they might work.  We could send you some samples if you like?

Leon that would be awesome. I'm doing a second GNW order to you soon, so I'll put a not in the comments for a sample. Cheers.

Actually now I've been made aware of them, the Horse grenadiers, winter coat from the SYW range I think would make good proxies. Maybe that will help someone else wondering as well. Cheers guys.
