Loving those lancers. Though may I propose one small adjustment? the pennon on the 2nd from left looks a little stiff.

Very, very nice. Did you know that the lancers were supposed to have been cuirassiers, but they couldn't find big enough horses for them? True!

Yes, but not in 1809. The French Line Chevauleger Lancers were introduced later.

The Guard Grenadiers look splendid. But it's a shame they have their hat cords across the front of the busbies. Should be draped over the top of the busby.

The lancers should come in handy too for Spain once the English make their appearance (hint, hint)

I don't, that's why I said 'Yes'.  :)  Yes, but not in 1809. The fact is that the lancers were heading for the 1809 Range until someone pointed out that the French didn't have any lancers in 1809. So they must trot off and start another Napoleonic French range.

On the other hand, the red lancers of the guard were at Wagram, but they had a different uniform. So hopefully they make an appearance too now that the guard cavalry is being designed.

Your talking about the 3rd Dutch Lancers and I think your incorrect anyways use the Austrian Uhlans in the range spot on to use.

Actually, they had several regiments of lancers, including those of the Guard, of Berg and the Legion of the Vistula. Different uniforms, of course.
