French Royal Dragons

Quick posting of the latest Louis XIV unit to be completed - The Royal Dragoons circa 1680.

Mounted Unit
The French took up the idea of Dragoons early on and created a number of Dragoon units each with their own unique uniform colours, The Royal Dragoons being in Blue coats with Red facings.

I used a batch of Front Rank figures that I obtained from eBay to build two squadrons of this Dragoon unit.

Horse Holder
Additionally I did a dismounted version of the unit on half bases, allowing the unit to deploy as a skirmish line or as a small infantry unit.

Finally I added a Horse holder stand to indicate where the unit's mounts can be found, should they want to rejoin their horses after deployment.
