French Napoleonic Dragoons

 Another unit leaves the painting desk.

A second unit of Dragoons.

Painted mostly with contrast paints

Compared with the previous unit (on the left) that was painted with acrylics except for the horses.

At wargaming distance the first unit seems to pop a little better than the new unit.  At closer range the contrast paint shows a lot more of the detail but it is not apparent at normal gaming distance. I am not sure if I will continue using the contrast paints for the uniforms for 10mm. On the horses it works well as they only require one coat and it shows of all the bridles etc.

Anyway, another unit completed for the Grand Army.

I do need to add flags for the cavalry though. 

Figures 10mm from Pendraken.
