Warfare Miniatures - Dismounted Dragoon horses NEW


I wanted some horses for my dismounted French Dragoons, so I emailed Barry Hilton at Warfare Miniatures to see if he had anything suitable. After a brief chat online a parcel arrived in the post containing 4 horses from the new yet to be released pack of horses!!!
I'm very privileged to be the first person to have them!


The plan was to get them painted up asap, but we're in the middle of decorating at the moment, so i persuaded Postie to volunteer and paint them up for me and what a spiffing paintjob he made of them too!


I'm not sure when they'll be on sale from, but look out for them soon.


They are going to be sold with a holder, but mine comes from the Dragoon command
 pack WLOA151.

  2. Neat. I´ve been considering getting me some dragoons for my Bodstonia Project (when was the last time I posted anything there :-/ ?.oooops! too many spoons in too many ..er? fires? ) but theyĆ©d definately have to have a bod Holding the nags whilst his mates go about the Job of Shooting. I might just get Zvezda´s Swedish and russian dragoons and mix and match ..they look pretty much the same to me..or?

    2. I suppose most Dragoons of the period would look pretty similar, just the headgear would be different?

  5. Very nice, Ray! Talk about, "Ask...and it shall be given to you." Sounds like Mr. Hilton is a great guy.

  9. An inspiring combination. Might be time to expand into 28mm Nine Years War...

  10. Excellent and versatile enough to work for most dismounted troops if painted appropriately. I could see them working for Cowboys as well for instance.

  12. Great looking mounts and a great aintjob too, but I can't help feeling you're going to suffer in a future Postie extravaganza for volunteering him.

    1. They're good for the eyes OB. Certainly easier than 6 or 15's.

    1. Thanks Ray
      And apologies for losing your email address in the first place - I had a bit of a mix-up during a Spring clean earlier in the year and I hadn't noticed yours was missing until now.
