King Germans Legion Heavy Dragoons Peninsular Cavalry

 Elite Miniatures British cavalry in bicorne painted as the 1st KGL Heavy Dragoons

Great opportunity to post some images of the latest addition to the Peninsular collection.   These are once again off the brush of Nathan and are from his sensational Elite Miniatures range that he distributes under license in Australia.

Famous for being part of Major General Von Bocks brigade who distinguished themselves so well at the Battle of Garcia Hernandez in 1812.  They were famous for breaking the French squares of the 6th Light, 69th and 76th line.

I have kept a gloss on the horses to experiment on the horses working hard in the Spanish sun and having a sweat on their coat.  Jury is still out on that one at present.

I love this bugler sitting upon his stirrups in the saddle sounding the charge


Wonderful shot of the Regimental Colonel casting an eye over the galloping ranks.

When Henry Hyde , the current wonderful editor of Miniature Wargames, first wanted to get the concept of a new wargames magazine out in the hobby, he looked for inspiration and support from the global wargaming community.  He got it in spades and Battlegames was born.

As foundation supporting members, Henry had a print of the KGL breaking the square at that famous battle.  I am still waiting to find a perfect frame for it to have it up in the wargames room.
