French Cuirassiers - 4th Regiment, orange facings

Since I've been adding quite a few regiments of heavy cavalry for the austrian and russian armies, I thought it'd only be fair to give the french some well deserved reinforcements, too, so here they are, the 4th Cuirassiers, on their striking orange facings!

More 3D printed terrain - 1/72 houses

A while ago I participated on a kickstarter for 3D printed terrain, european houses, and a few weeks ago I received my reward. I'm pretty impressed with the quality and amount of stuff I got in my pledge.

The models are now available for purchase here, though for the specific scale of 1/72 you'd need to contact Aron directly. There are more stuff available from the KS than what I went for, and now I'm tempted to get all the other buildings he has in shop!

I started working on the models right away, and here is the lot, fully painted and ready for gaming. I used a 1/72 french chasseur in some pictures for scale reference.

I believe I now have over 30 buildings in my collection of terrain for napoleonics - not enough, but it's getting there!

Austrian Cuirassiers en masse

After finishing the 2 regiments I showed here on the previous post, I now have a total of 4 cuirassier regiments for the Austrian army, so I decided to post some pics of their heavy cavalry en masse. 

I plan on doing another 2 regiments, so I can field the Austrian cuirassiers in 2 brigades of 3 regiments each, enough to play some large battles against the french.
