Lancer figures with cylindrical shako in 15/18mm

Post by shadowdragon »

In my madness of building up my Neapolitan forces into a mighty "corps", I would like to field a unit of Guard Lancers (1814-15), which have cylindrical shakos. The only figures I found in 15/18mm that are close are these Minifigs Prussian Landwehr cavalry since they don't seem to be in a long coat or have a oil-skinned covered shako:

Any other ideas?

Any French Guard Scout Lancers?

Good choice of an army under used.

Pretty too, but what else can you expect when the King is also a king of fashion. Each year, the troops must have eagerly awaited the spring uniform fashion shows. "White with pink facings is sooo last year." :lol:
