Great War German Dragoons


A few more of the Great War Cavalry from Will.

(Remember: click on the pictures for a bigger version):


These Dragoons are all from Wargames Foundry. They will go nicely with my German Hussars.



With the French Chasseurs and the British and Indian lancers, things are brewing up for some serious Great War cavalry battles!




Coming soon on Tim’s Miniature Wargaming Blog:

I do have a few more units of Great War Cavalry – some more Australian Light Horse and two more units of later war Canadian Cavalry… Stratcona’s Horse? Fort Gary Horse? Royal Canadian Dragoons? Not sure which… I’ve already done the Canadian Light Horse (with Old Glory minis – the ones I have to paint are all Great War Miniatures).

I may take a break from the horsemen, however, and finish up the Legionnaires… or the zombies… or… something…

    It seems incredible that men went to war on horses, armed with lances, in the era of airburst shells and maxim guns.

      In hindsight it is kind of mad, isn't it!?

    Not really my period, but I really like what you've done with these. The blue-grey tones are well done.

      Thanks FMB! I've tortured myself over that colour. Every illustration seems to show them in a different shade, varying from greenish-grey to blueish-grey to just plain old grey... I've kind of given up worrying about it and just sticking with it!

    How unfortunate that these are going to die in a hail of machinegun-fire... ;)

    Great looking figures. We've got the same unit in our club, so good luck to them, Great War is not a fun party for them!
    Very nice work,
    Phil.
