Victrix Limited Napoleonic British Heavy Dragoons – 28mm Scale Model Plastic Figures

Victrix Limited delivers the definitive hard plastic heavy cavalry strike force for historical wargaming with this 28mm scale box set of 12 Napoleonic British Heavy Dragoons. Expertly molded in high-detail gray polystyrene, this premium kit from The Napoleonic Wars collection provides a highly modular building system to accurately recreate elite charging cavalry. For the dedicated hobbyist, this enthusiast-grade set offers an outstanding variety of interchangeable parts, dynamic weapon positions, and hyper-detailed facial expressions to capture the raw fury of a historic cavalry clash.

This versatile miniature set is engineered to build both standard British Line Dragoons and the legendary Scots Greys, covering the pivotal later stages of the Peninsular War (1813–1814), the 1814 campaign in France, and the fateful Waterloo campaign of 1815. The box contains 12 highly detailed mounted figures distributed across three main frames and one dedicated command frame, which includes options to construct a striking officer and a cavalry trumpeter. With options to outfit your riders in standard Dragoon helmets, iconic Scots Greys bearskins, or Waterloo-accurate oilskin bearskin covers, this kit gives you complete creative control over your historical deployment.

Recommended Essentials

• The Crimson Line: Deploy this heavy cavalry detachment to support your front-line Victrix Napoleonic British Center Companies or Highlanders to simulate a historic combined-arms defense.
• Speed Painting Path: Start with a Flat Black or Dark Brown Primer for the horses, then apply a rich Scarlet Red Primer to the rider torsos. This keeps the recessed areas naturally shaded, allowing the crisp white webbing, bright yellow facings, and polished steel swords to instantly pop under a clean layer of paint.
• Battlefield Weathering: Use fine tufts from Gamers Grass across the cavalry bases to perfectly mimic the muddy, trampled terrain of the Belgian plateau at Waterloo.
• Maintenance & Care: Use a sharp Precision Hobby Knife to cleanly trim the delicate attachment gates from the slender sword blades and horse tails to prevent bending or snapping during preparation.
