MORE BBC (Bloody British Cavalry..!)

Well, I have moved on to the second box of Warlord Black Powder Napoleonic British cavalry that I bought a couple of weeks ago. This time, it's the Household Brigade, although in actuality, the only difference between this set and the Union Brigade is different heads and a different metal officer figure. This time, there is no metal bugler, just a separate metal buglers arm to attach to one of the standard plastic troopers.

Small issues again that could annoy the more pedantic EG  because the bugler just uses a standard body he has no sabre, because the plastic figures are cast with an empty scabbard, as the troopers obviously have their sabres drawn.

I haven't been able to figure out the logic that made one pack have both command figures in metal and the other only the officer...indeed, they could easily have had the two command figures as a seperate sprue and moulded in plastic...

After some consideration, I decided to paint this unit as the Horseguards IE in blue uniforms with red facings. I might buy a second pack and do one of the Lifeguard regiments too....

Anyway, here is the first base completed, as usual, the command element. I copied the box art from the packaging so hope the all white feather for the bugler is accurate. The rest of the troopers have no feather at all, although two of the four heads provided do have one...so I assume the Lifeguards all have plumes on their helmets..
