25/28mm Spanish Guerrilla Napoleonic Lancers These figures have been in my lead mountain toy box for over 20 odd years now the time to paint them. Started ok then thinking why am I panting them this is unusual for me. I know painting horses is not my favourite things . Just could not get into them but in the bag that they came in only 8 horses for 10 riders still had to Prince August horse figures will not fit over the saddle large round paintbrush handle insert between the riders’ legs and hold one leg then push the handle to other side hay presto on figure now sits on horse . Makes your eyes water. Well now the Spanish Army has some Cavalry.

25mm Napoleonic Portuguese Cazadero's Minfigs

25mm Napoleonic Portuguese Cazaderos Minifigs Went in to my toy cupboard as the wife calls it over the Christmas holidays and found I had a 30 odd Minifigs and a few Hinchliffe figures . It seems to me that although it just a ½ the size of a Regiment I would need as most of my Napoleonic Infantry regiments are 50 plus figures it would be a good start. I’m old school wargamer so big regiments back in the day was the thing to play with. Having one Regiment of Hincliffe Cazadores painted over 50 years a go I now spent some time looking at the different Regiments and what one to have . After all Portugues has been an allied with Britain since 1147 or 1294 take your pick at the dates and only have one Regimentin my Napoleonic army is a bit wrong well that’s my excuse to add them .
