As a break from painting infantry, I've been working on a KGL light cavalry brigade - the 1st KGL Hussars and the 1st KGL Light Dragoons. It's not in the Quatre Bras OOB, but I thought I could substitute them for the 3rd Cavalry Dutch-Belgian Brigade (6th Dutch Hussars and 5th Belgian Light Dragoons). The reason I didn't paint those was that the uniforms didn't match the castings I had.
I'll add them into the Black Duke's escape campaign somewhere along the line. I'm sure the KGL would like to help their cousins escape from the French. Two regiments of French Chasseurs are awaiting painting to match them.
Figures are Redline from Bend Sinister. Nice castings, very quick to paint - about 6 hours including basing for 50 mounted.

| I realised a bit late they had no standard bearers, so had to cut off the poles and paint silver to pretend they were swords |
That are some nice painted figures Karim! As a Napoleonic fan I like them a lot!
