14th Brooklyn: Arrived

I have now had a chance to examine and take some photos of my 14th Brooklyn. I am very pleased with the sculpting and design by F&G and by the artistry of Leuthen Studious which performed the commission for me.

F&G has animated the unit beautifully, it is just full of action and dynamism. Well done! I'm now signed up for  F&G's Iron Brigade. I really like the approach of designing a nuanced, historical unit.

14th Brooklyn (84th New York) finished!

Here is the 14th Brooklyn (84th New York) finished! The 28mm metal figures are by "Forgotten & Glorious" and the painting was done by Leuthen Studios. The poses are unusually well animated and show the Regiment in action at Gettysburg with Cutler's  2nd Brigade, Wadsworth's 1st Division, I Corps at McPherson's Wood on the first day of the battle and later on Culp's Hill on the second and third day.

14th Brooklyn (84th New York)

My new project is the 14th Brooklyn (84th New York). This chasseur-equipped militia regiment is being modeled and soon to be released by the talented sculptors at Forgotten Glorious.

Hopefully the artists at Leuthen Studios will render them something like this:

This painting of the "14th Brooklyn, 1862" is by the ACW artist, Don Troiani, to whom full credit for his research and artistry...and inspiration for my latest commission.

1er Régiment de Chasseurs à Cheval de la Garde

This is the 1ème Escadron of the 1er Régiment de Chasseurs à Cheval de la Garde, commanded by chef d'escadron Alexandre Constant Bayeux. The Regiment was commanded by maréchal de camp Baron Lallemand.

The squadron is wearing the simpler campaign uniform of the 1815 campaign. It was painted for me by Carl Robson using Perry figures.

At Waterloo, the Regiment comprised 1,997 effectives in 5 squadrons. This would require 60 figures using General de Brigade rules! A brigade sized unit unto itself. The first squadron is...a start.
