OK, so after two years I've finally given in to having a section of the FORUM specifically set up to discuss painting techniques, display examples, show your latest projects and chat about this vital part of the hobby. Manufacturers please feel free to post up your sculpts, ask questions about what the gamers are after and generally promote your work.. no charge! Painters, please also feel free to post up your work for comment and critique. I can't promise the unreserved adulation characteristic of some other fora but I would hope you'd get constructive and measured comment!

The 3e régiment de cuirassiers fought at Austerlitz, Jena, Eylau, Friedland, Eckmühl, Essling, Wagram, as well as sending a detachment to Spain. Alongside 1r and 2e cuirassiers this detachment formed the1r regiment provisoire de grosse cavalerie, which eventually became the 13e régiment de cuirassiers. For the invasion of Russia, Col Charles Eugène Lalaing d’Audenarde commanded the regiment under Général de brigade Bertrand Bessieres as part of 1r divsione de grosse cavalerie.

Is it the best of both worlds for you as a medievalist :p
Fancy uniforms but also "plate" armor?
Great job, finish up the regiment so we can see all 3 you've done so far.

You can't beat a bit of plate - well you can, but only with a decent hammer...
Anyway, onwards and upwards

Over half way, at least. However, there's still another regiment to go, as well as a lancer squadron

Very nice Stephen!
One day we may call you d'Hautpoul or Milhauld as soon as you've grown up a bit
Such tiny nice Regiments you have.... from a Saxon point of view
Cheers,
Günter

I do aspire to raising them to eight figure squadrons, but there's the small matter of a Russian Division to crack first
