It would be awsome to see the french range completed by some "Chevaux léger" (lancers)

That's the cavalery unit missing  ;)

But it's an 1809 range. . . so not so much missing as not in existence.

howitzers, though, they existed!

I took the bavarian howitzers with some french crew, it works pretty well  ;)

The Bavarian guns are just the Austrian models.

However, the French made use of captured Austrian guns, especially 6-pdrs.

On my to-do list is finding out what an Austrian 6-pdr in French service would have looked like. If anyone has any idea, please let me know.  :)

And Zippee's right, as has been discussed on the forum. Incorporating lancers into the French army went through a lengthy period of consideration and testing throughout 1809. If any date from 1809, it was only on paper.

The later line lancer has been sculpted:

It's taken some time to get it done, but we've had the headgear modified on these as per the requests:




Hopefully these look the business now, and we can get them moulded up and released.

As requested by quite a few folks, we've had the artillery extended with the 12pdr and the 6" Howitzer as well.  Elsewhere, we previewed the Guard Grenadiers a Cheval some time back, but there were some queries regarding the headgear.  We've had those sent back to the sculptor and the braid/tassle has been repositioned now.

12pdr and 6" How:

Are these available now? Being a bit thick and unable to do a usual browse as still without internet and email and racking up a huge roaming mobile bill :o

Not yet, they'll be going into a low-temp mould either over Xmas or in the New Year and then we can get them released early 2015, probably with the Personalities.
