Rating the Plastic French Cavalry Sets

[@darrinstanaway8943]

Your comparisons and which you feel is best to buy etc is such a great reference for people to refer to have a great xmas hope you get well keep up the great channel excellent reference point for helping us out

[@naturalbornmarmot]

It's worth mentioning that the Perry chasseurs box can also be built as hussars on campaign, in Kinski tunics,. So lots of painting options besides chasseur green!

[@RealKull]

For your commander, repair the horse leg with a sleeve of greenstuff

[@scarfacejosh123]

I gotta say, I’ve never wanted to not paint a model more than I didn’t want to paint Warlord’s Hussars. In general, I agree 100%, Warlords cavalry are definitely a cut below the rest

[@marknightingale2760]

I agree, got halfway through painting the Warlord lancers and completely lost interest. Compared to Victrix which are so enjoyable to paint.

[@NapoleonicWargaming]

@@scarfacejosh123 I agree, which I think is a real shame

[@rogerjclarke]

Fantastic series of videos, especially for someone like me who is new to Napoleonic wargames.

[@NapoleonicWargaming]

@@rogerjclarke thanks man!

[@Blutgang]

Its always been fascinating to me the level of detail and decor and the Craftsmanship required to produce uniforms during the Napoleonic period.

[@manolodocampo7108]

The only thing I miss is horses at the trot, which funny enough is how French cavalry would charge and actually beat most enemies!

[@johnrohde5510]

One can also use the Chasseurs-a-Cheval of the Guard in Spain in 1810 as well.

[@garyclarke4889]

Great video Tim

[@williamarthur4801]

The Airfix Hussar was the opposite, the rider all geared up for a charge and the horse, just at a gentle trot.

[@NapoleonicWargaming]

@@williamarthur4801 haha, the hussar was more keen to get stuck on than the horse!

[@dinoknight6538]

Thing with Warlord cavalry is that the rider's legs tend to be far to far out and end up bumping into each other if you have 2 on a base

[@paulmiddleton8487]

I'm planning on doing "ITV Sharpe Sim" so I got the Chausseurs (bottom of the list!) for those fellas that take the King's colours in Sharpe's Eagle

[@sultanbev]

32:40 not eveyone uses 12 figures for a regiment - the Chasseurs of the Guard were something like 1000 men strong, that would be 32 figures in my rules!

[@NapoleonicWargaming]

@@sultanbev I'm not sure I could face painting that many! 🤣

[@johnwayneeverett6263]

Great, thanks Buddy.

[@manolodocampo7108]

I was expecting this! Niceee!!!

[@bclassminis8983]

Where did you get the thumbnail photo from? 😍

[@NapoleonicWargaming]

@@bclassminis8983 I found it on Google images. It's rather nice! If I can find the artist I'll give them credit!

[@grahamcole-y5s]

ITS OUT OF FOCUS

[@NapoleonicWargaming]

@grahamcole-y5s OH NO

[@Philip-xs8dj]

Warlord hussars have taill coats

[@Rusty_Gold85]

That metal command is the worst figure in all wargaming history. I grabbed a spare Perrys Horse( 14 ) and dropped the rider on that. With The Warlord Lancers I chopped the hand and reset the Lance Alignment to Vertical. I got a whole lot of Transformed warlord/Perry horses and cheval , lancers and Hussars spares into mock up of some Russian Cavalry before any kits came out . Made the lengthy saddle blankets with GreenStuff

[@markbratton1597]

Audie mur😮😮

[@orolfursigursson5296]

I really dislike warlords horses. Also the salddelry is off and the girth is dangourusly far back for the horse. It is not a problem whit victrix and perry models

[@Charles-s8m]

I favor Perry and Victrix.

[@nickhindley4295]

HaT do a 28mm Napoleonic Peninsular British dragoon set with the bicorn hats.

[@NapoleonicWargaming]

They do, thanks for the reminder! I'll be adding them to the video on the Brits!

[@josephsheehan7459]

My hourse snaped too

[@NapoleonicWargaming]

@josephsheehan7459 glad it wasn't just mine, but that sucks!
