The road to Waterloo - British Heavy Cavalry

[@BootsontheTable]

What a wonderful collection you have JP. Nothing looks better in my eyes than massed Napoleonic cavalry, especially British!

[@JP-ml4zh]

I do love the cavalry, lights or heavys ……. And a cavalry battle is something really quite special…. Now whether it’s the Brits or the french…we’ll that’s a difficult one…..especially those french and polish lancers 🤔🤭😀😀😀

[@martinradcliffe4798]

The Lifeguards look particularly good- but they all look very impressive.

[@JP-ml4zh]

Thanks very much Martin, think might film a bit of the British infantry today 😀, keep watching, cheers JP

[@allanburt5250]

Simply fantastic J P 👏

[@JP-ml4zh]

Thanks very much Allan, keep an eye out for the next one, and always appreciate the feedback Cheers JP 😀

[@philRminiatures]

First class units and stands...Absolutly superb!!

[@JP-ml4zh]

Thanks very much Phil, glad you liked the video, will do a couple more in the run up, cheers JP 😀

Ranks of red coats always look stunning. Any significant part of Waterloo is a big project for all involved, it should look amazing when both sides meet

[@JP-ml4zh]

Hoping so, I’ll hopefully get some shots up of the set off and fingers crossed some of the game, thanks for watching 😀😀 cheers JP

[@cearapeter]

Excellent paint job on these figures. Well done.

[@JP-ml4zh]

Thanks very much, much appreciated, cheers JP 😀😀

[@northernprep7790]

Wow that is great brushwork,something I can only aspire too.

[@JP-ml4zh]

Thanks very much JP

Brilliant painting . A feast for the eyes . The commandements are spendid ! One thing about the video : please push up the sound . Anyway outstanding work !

[@JP-ml4zh]

Will do, I did notice it on that one, not sure why it came across so quite, will try and fix it going forward, cheers JP 👍

[@norm977]

Lovely collection, love the trumpeter, please paint my entire collection and have it ready for me by next Friday :-) Nice to have a favourite unit - they all look wonderful.

[@JP-ml4zh]

Cheers Norm, always great to get the feedback, now that painting was that Friday 28th June …..2035 …… 🤪😀😀😀

[@andreasolsoon3643]

Brilliant! 👍🏻

[@JP-ml4zh]

Thank very much 😀😀, JP

[@MillersMiniatures]

Some awesome units of cavalry mate and some awesome looking sculpts aswell. Nice one mate 😁👍

[@JP-ml4zh]

Thanks very much, it’s hard to beat the Perry’s isn’t it, they do do great figures, I have one or two from other manufacturers for my french and British and kick myself in retrospect, and don’t tend to use them nearly as much. However I do also like the calpe Prussians ….. cheers JP 😀😀

[@lesliebeilby-tipping6854]

Great investment in some beautiful figures with some beautiful painting. I hope that Charlie realises the investment in his future games that you have made.

[@JP-ml4zh]

He’s already inherited my 15mm figures, fingers crossed he keeps playing, and will enjoy them as much as I do 🤞🤞

[@basicminiaturepainting]

Beautiful cavalry

[@JP-ml4zh]

Thanks very much, it’s tough to beat the look of massed heavy cavalry and always good to get them out, always appreciate the feedback, keep an eye out for the next, cheers JP 😀😀

Félicitations très belles réalisations 👏👏

[@JP-ml4zh]

Thanks much appreciated 👍👍

[@lucioquinziocincinnato7984]

Nice video and painting

[@JP-ml4zh]

Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it, cheers JP 😀

[@thekameleon9785]

Amazing J P!

[@JP-ml4zh]

Thanks very much, some of my favourite troops 😀😀😀

[@UlsterAndy]

nice paint work there don't forget that the House hold had the KDG as well as the 1st and 2nd life along side the Blues. Union Brig was 6th Enniskillen's, scotch Greys and the N.DG. looking forward to seeing your game as well.

[@JP-ml4zh]

You’re right, I did (obviously) forget them, the GdA scenario excludes them, but I should have remembered ! Unfortunately that’s all my heavy Dragoons, so the British Cavalry counter punch will be a bit light…..I’m sure with a bit of Charlie’s dice rolling they’ll make up for it 😮😀😀

[@andrewsmith4055]

@@JP-ml4zh indeed Charlie will come to the rescue. What did napalon say give me a lucky general.. or a Charlie

[@wellhungindung]

Great paint jobs, audio on the video seemed a bit low.

[@JP-ml4zh]

Thanks for the heads up, will have a look at that, cheers JP 👍

[@catroger1722]

Excellent work jp wish they made Scots greys without the cover in any scale like in the Waterloo movie ,yours look awesome going to wach your battle report later cheers Paul 👍👍

[@JP-ml4zh]

Thanks Paul, I know what you mean, there’s never quite the figure variant I want, skirmishing young guard is my current bugbear…..trying foundry for a few of theirs, always try and stick to the Perry’s for my French…..and have pondered using their normal skirmishing troops but not the right cross belts (omg am I turning into that napoleonic nut!) so having a look at the foundry Perry sculpts …we’ll see, thanks for the feedback and keep watching, cheers JP 😀😀

[@catroger1722]

@@JP-ml4zh will do mate learn a lot about wargaming off you ,I will mix periods slightly but hey! A shako here a tricone there won't put me off solo gaming ,as long as I'm happy doing it ,try some conversions plenty of figs out there you might have success cheers 👍

[@NossCalavera1670]

Lovely figures, are you planning to play the entire battle or parts of it at a time?

[@JP-ml4zh]

We are still working out the details, but unfortunately (or my wife would say luckily) I don’t have enough figures to do it all at once, so our first game will be D,Erlon’s assault extended to the flank at Papelotte, we are then planning a second game to reflect the tail end of the cavalry assaults, and culminating in the old guard attack in the centre and we should be out of lockdown fully by the second game 🤞🤞so we might be able to get enough players and space to also be doing the fighting at plancenoit at the same time, …………so I can use my young guard and Prussians as well 😀😀 still planning 🤔🤔
