Plans for This Week's Painting - Dutch-Belgian Cavalry and the KGL

Two stands of hussars and two stands of light dragoons, ready for basecoating.

So a quick update on the plan for painting this week. I've ordered two packs of stovepipe shako light infantry and another pack of Belgic shako infantry (another 12 bases in all) from Baccus so that I can finish the King's German Legion Brigade and do the Hanoverian brigade as well.

Until those arrive, this week is going to be pretty cavalry focused I think with an aim to at least finish the two light brigades of the Dutch-Belgian cavalry division.

What's the progress been like so far?

Some Dutch-Belgian light dragoons go under the brush.

Well, I've finished the two line battalions of Ompteda's KGL brigade, minus their full basing:

KGL Line battalions.

And I got the two light dragoon regiments painted up for the cavalry:

The 4th and 5th Light Dragoons

I'm pretty pleased with how both of these regiments came out. I'm a big fan of the green and yellow of the 5th Light Dragoons.

Proper pictures against the usual white background will be put up on Friday once I've completed the brigade and based the cavalry. Hopefully the rest of the KGL and the Hanoverians will turn up in the post this week.

As the week goes on I should get most of this division done. I might even get to have a stab at some carabiniers!
