Victrix Sound A Charge With New Imperial Guard Lancers Plastic Kit
March 23, 2020 by brennon
Victrix has now released a new plastic kit for those diving into some Napoleonics on the tabletop. The French Napoleonic Imperial Guard Lancers are now available in plastic as a set of twelve miniatures.
The set allows you to represent Napoleon's Lancers Of The Guard and both the Polish and Dutch elements of this regiment. During the period they fought across most of Europe and finally at Waterloo. As well as being useful for Napoleon's soldiers Victrix has said that they could work as Prussians, Polish Line Lancers, Lancers De Berg and also Russian Lancers. This makes it quite a flexible kit to have in your hobbying back pocket.
One thing is for sure, this is a very animated and dynamic looking set of cavalry. Each of the riders look well placed in the saddle, surrounded by their various weapons and other accessories. All of this is then taken to the next level by those charging horses who look absolutely amazing. I particularly love the one on the right (above) which looks like it has just jumped over a low hedge.
This is a very, very, very cool plastic kit and it is absolutely packed with detail. As well as the three main frames you can also use the kit to make a command element too which is always welcome. I said it earlier today and I'll say it again; the Napoleonic period is certainly one of the most colourful and interesting ones. You can't beat seeing immense armies arrayed against each other with cannons belching and troops lining up to fire their rifles.
What do you make of this new plastic set?

Really nice set and the movement on that trumpeters mount is lovely
Nice well detailed figures.
“(The Scots Greys) They are the noblest cavalry in Europe; and the worst led. Napoleon: That may be; that may be, but we will match them with our lancers…”
So iconic for the period and can be painted in so many different colour schemes. I’m certainly getting a couple of sets for starters.
These are great. Victrix always deliver great value for your money.
