All I needed to do was add horses, and base the unit, and hey presto...
Originally the Orleans Dragoon Regt, these chaps sport the uniform of a period slightly later than that which I am depicting with my 18th century Pils Holstein collection. I love the green coats and helmets, and although I'm not a purist with this and am happy to leave these anomalies so that the project reflects uniforms from 1740-1760 ish, I wanted to rename this unit, and have labelled them The Chevaliers de Rouen - a fictional regiment, and I'm sure you get the pun. They are lead by their Colonel Theophillis d'En (Theo d'En) for those who need a nudge to get it...
More news on the project soon...

Handsome lads all...Bill
ReplyDeleteFondly remembering the 'old' Chevaliers de Rouen.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully painted - especially the flag with all details gives a good effect!
ReplyDeleteI will have a look if I can get such in 40mm...

A very smart looking unit there Phil.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to admit to being very dim. I don't get the joke :(
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely regiment!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the supportive comments guys.
ReplyDeleteConrad K - "Chevaliers de Rouen" = sort of, "Riders of Rohan"?!
abdul666 - ah! you have a good memory!! They were Holger Erikksen figures painted around 8 years ago.

Phil, An excellent unit cleverly integrated. John's sculpting is marvellously lively. Rohan.
