Title: War of Spanish Succession - French Dragoon - any suggestions?
Post by: toxicpixie on 27 March 2013, 12:28:49 PM
Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has any good suggestions for codes or photos for WSS French Dragoons (mounted & dismounted if possible)? I want them in the floppy cap rather than the tricorne of MAL12 or MAL21.

Would the SYW packs have anything - e.g. SYF14 French Dragoons (mounted, I guess?), or even the Prussians like SYP16 - I can find plenty of piccies with head gear that looks about right, but they don't have handy product codes with them so I'm a bit leery of ordering on guess work :)

Thanks in advance!

Wait for LoA dragoons.

Ask Leon. I will not dare to say.

I did notice the LoA release thread, I wouldn't like to wade in any further  8)

The SYW figure works reasonably well.

Specifically the SYF14, Chad?

Set me answer this.

SYF14 dragoons are generally OK. Soft caps, sabres, they include command.
The only thing to adapt them to WSS is to "unfold" their turnbacks.
Given the waiting time for mounted WSS dragoons could be more than a year (there are no horses for them yet) you should buy this pack.

But for dismounted dragoons, there are no packs available and LoA figures will be released soon (I hope).

Cheers maciek, that's what I was looking for :)

Those new LoA dismounts look superb, so once they're up I'll have a couple, and for now the SFY14's will do nicely! Little bit of liquid green stuff and craft knife should sort the turn backs...
