Some freshly painted 28mm French Chasseurs à Cheval:
There now appears to be some light at the end my 28mm French Napoleonic tunnel, I only have a Young Guard Brigade and some Polish Lancers to go – Vive La France!! More photos of Chasseurs at: link Raglan |

Very nice; are these the 1815 version, still wearing their Royalist helmets, as opposed to the Chevau-Leger Lanciers, without the lance? |

Beautiful Chasseurs and it's great to see a true Napoleonic wargamer bring them out and paint them up! You don't often see Chasseurs on the table, it's eitehr Hussars, Lancers or Cuirassiers. |

Gonsalvo : they wear the uniform of the Bourbon restauration, the trumpeter wears the royal livery as they didn't had the time to change it to the imperial livery. I've painted this unit recently : link |

You got to love the hard working Chasseurs. Blue Max, Well spotted and thank you for pointing out the livery colour. I painted these using the reference for elite company: link I will change the trumpeter's livery in the monring. Raglan |

Blue Max, If you click on link in my previous post, you will find that it leads to the site that you mention. As you will notice, the elite company trumpeter is dressed in a green livery. Raglan |

Oh you're right, I missed your link at first glance.
Some companies of the 1st chasseurs did adopt the Imperial uniform. |
returns to Flintloque to paint an Ogre.
