Painting a 28mm Napoleonic Italian Chasseur a Cheval
Hello everyone and welcome to my latest video. As a follow up to painting a light cavalry horse, I have now painted its rider! The 4th Regiment of Italian Chasseurs a Cheval had an unusual violet facing colour and fit into my 1813 Leipzig force so this was a nice treat to do. The miniatures are from the Perry Miniatures plastic French Chasseur a Cheval set. I painted up a member of the elite company in the video. Paints are listed below.

I always mix a bit militarium green into the Dark Angel green, which is providing a bit more contrast - on the highlights
That's interesting. I haven't mixed my Contrast paints together before. There may be some more useful combinations out there. Thanks for watching.
@@CullodenPaintingStudio I do this for some colours, there I could achieve some benefits the pure colour doesn't have, so for the dark blue a bit mid blue added, or for the black a light grey, or for the dark brown a light brown, depends what I like to achieve.
Thanks again for another superb tutorial. 👍
No problem!
Very nice mate 👍
@@liberator2408 thanks buddy
I see page 74, Army of the Kingdom of Italy, 1805-1814 says 'The elite companies of all regiments wore the black fur hussar style colpack with facing colour bag piped ... dark green for the 2nd and 4th regiments". I've found this a very good reference for the Italians, so sounds like you nailed it! I confess, it has been a while and I might have painted it red without a 2nd thought!
If only I had piped the bag dark green for complete authenticity! Didn't know that detail. Thanks for watching.
Superb sculpts and top notch paint job, wow!!
They are great models to work on. Thanks very much.
Welcome back! You are one of a few that, to me a beginner, can make a contrast/speed/express paint job look almost as good as regular acrylics. Watching you I have come to the conclusion that it is acrylics for me, at least for now. Two questions for you. As I begin in the hobby the idea of dry brushing highlights seems more approachable than actual painting the highlights. Any suggestions on how best to do that on 18-19th century miniatures? Each color dry brushed or a general dry brush? Being so small a figure I have struggled with that. Second, have you any plans to showcase your talents on a larger scale, in particular 40mm used often in skirmish war gaming. I enjoyed when you said beginner or table top standard. To me your work is museum quality.
Thanks for the kind words. I think that a general drybrush can work wonders. A warm off white will highlight just about everything. I use Vallejo Game Color Elfic Flesh for this role. I tend to do it after applying the base colours of the uniform and kit, but before metallics as it will rob them of their shine. I will often do it before applying a wash as well, and usually I will go back to tidy up white straps as a matter of course. Sometimes, I will use a spray primer in a colour that does most of the uniform for me, such as a dark green for British 95th Rifles, or a dark blue for French light infantry. I would give things a green/blue drybrush after the primer to add an easy highlight. It is hard to drybrush highlights onto one area only as you have found, so it can be a matter of choosing your battles! I don't have any immediate plans for larger figures, but for a good part of the 00s and 10s I pretty much exclusively painted 54mm sci fi figures for the Games Workshop Inquisitor game, so I have had plenty of practice in the past. Might be a nice challenge to do some big Napoleonic figures one day.
Very nicely done and an enjoyable vid, thank you!
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.
An excellent tutorial mate
Thanks dude.
Did you give the shabraque a wash in soft tone as well?
That's right, washed the whole model.
I enjoyed your video! I have 6mm Romans and Carthaginians and have just purchased additional figures to augment both armies. Problem is l don't have the patience to paint them. What is your rate per figure for painting 6mm figures?
Thanks for watching. It's nice of you to think I'd be worthy of painting your figures. Unfortunately I can't take any commissions on for the time being. Not sure when I'll be in the position to offer painting services again!
This is great! I have a question about the plume though, can it be any color pattern? I’m very confused with it lately lol
Thanks for watching! Voltigeur plumes varied a lot. Some were green, some yellow, some had both, others had a little red! I don't think you can be criticised for choosing from those three colours. Some source paintings might have more info for each regiment, and there may be written documents from the time that could help confirm it. I don't worry that much though!
I found this really helpful thank you
You're welcome!
Do you wash your metal miniatures?
I don't wash metal miniatures, but I know that some people do.
Very helpful!!
You're welcome.
May I ask what colors you used for the gun carriage? Looks great.
I primed the cannon with Army Painter Wolf Grey, picked out the ironwork with Vallejo Model Color Black Grey. The barrel is Vallejo Model Color Bronze. I washed the carriage with Army Painter Dark Tone and drybrushed with old GW Space Wolves Grey. Vallejo Game Color Wolf Grey is a modern equivalent. The barrel was washed with Army Painter Strong Tone and drybrushed Vallejo Model Color Brass.
Thank you. After posting the question I did some research and found AP Wolf Grey primer. Thank you for confirming that. For one or two pieces I’m not sure a can is worth it so perhaps just the bottle. Great work!
@@user-mc4sq3fk5d You're welcome.
I wish I could applaud your efforts but you ruined the male vampire. Even a cursory search would have shown what a gentleman wears. The vest should be a contrasting colour or dark and the breeches should be buff, tan or dark. Your vampire looks like a liveried servant in the same colour outfit. A bit of a shame.
Thanks for the feedback :)
Nice and good job. Thank you for sharing
Thanks very much.
Love these AWI videos. Question based on your experiences and skill level. As a beginner focused initially on AWI, ACW, Napoleonic, do you believe there is one speed paint better suited to historical between Citadel, AP speed paint 2.0 or Vallejo express?
I can't really answer that truthfully as I haven't used Speedpaint 2.0 outside of a couple of metallics. GW are decent, stable to paint over, but expensive. Vallejo are less expensive, have a less blotchy finish than GW, but as I found out to my shock, reactivate when brush on Winsor and Newton matt varnish is applied! I also feel that as they have to be applied over a light base coat and contained to one area (unless you want to be constantly reapplying the base coat), they aren't perfect for beginners. Once brush control has been established they become a useful tool. I think regular acrylics will always be needed to paint when starting out. Blocking in acrylics plus a wash is a solid foundation to build from.
Thank you!
Another very helpful tutorial and on a topic many hobbyists have a tough time with-horses. I only wish you could drop a video every day!!
I am glad the video is useful for you. Would be nice to have more regular videos but real life is always in the way!
Can't believe you've just posted this! I've got two boxes of Perry's French Hussars I only opened yesterday and needed a few tips how to get the horses done in a reasonable time!!! Your timing is impeccable lol! Mind you, got to admit I've overdone it on the cavalry for my British and French Peninsular armies... was gonna be an infantry division of each inf and a cavalry heavy and light Brigade of each. Gonna end up with 3 heavy cavalry Rgts for the french and 2 Rgts of Hussars, 1 Chass. a Cheval Rgt and 1 Polish Lt Lancer Rgt.... for the Brits I'm gonna end up with 2 Hvy Dragoon Rgts, 2 Lt Dragoon Rgts and 2 Hussar Rgts... on the bright side; the 28mm Rose garden is gonna look very healthy!!! thanks for all the painting tips you've done on Napoleonics, I use them all the time.
A happy coincidence! I have three units of chasseurs to paint (Italian and Neapolitan) for my XI corps 1813 project. I then have hussars, lancers, chasseurs, cuirassiers and carabiniers in boxes needing painted up too. Nothing quite like biting off more than you can chew.
Good video,im not good at painting horses,the shading especially i can never get it right,thanks.
They are a challenge. I find that if you can avoid blotches of overdone washes they come out well enough for the table, especially at three feet away!
@@CullodenPaintingStudio when ive got time to do it,im going to do an acw cavalry battle,at this point im just going to dip all the horses,be there all day otherwise!😞
@@iainthepict55 dipping can be pretty effective for churning them out.
Thanks for a really helpful tutorial. Look forward to seeing the rider when you come to paint him.
Glad you liked it. Chasseurs are primed and ready for painting in the next wee while.
Excellent tutorial mate
Thanks buddy
Really effective brushwork there! And a useful tip with the Elf Flesh for dry-brushing. I've always used whites for that, and many of these are too stark. Your use of a flesh tone for that is just right.
Thanks. I am quite happy that I discovered the Elfic Flesh drybrush trick. It works incredibly well on a lot of colours. Adds a nice dusty effect too.
They may be useless in battle, but they look very dapper doing so! - I've got a small group of Prague Landwehr just waiting to be put together, so this has got me right in the mood!
Very nice option to paint when you need a break from oceans of white in an Austrian army too! Enjoy the painting!
I liked the Targor Rageshade surprisingly. Don’t see people using it much at all but it’s got a nice colour. Wouldn’t use it in this scenario but certainly one I’ll look to pick up at some point
It's definitely got potential over browns, reds, skin and gold I would say. I reckon barbarians or beastmen would be suitable for an all over application of Targor Rageshade.
Fine work. How would you paint the facings, of they were a colour other than white? Esp. how would you 'whiten' the lace? And how would you paint white hat trim?
Hello, thanks for watching. Typically when I am doing facings I will paint the facing colour and then go back over the lace with something like Vallejo Off White. EDIT: Hat trim would be a light grey, such as Vallejo Game Ghost Grey, and then the Off White.
@@CullodenPaintingStudio Thank you kindly for the advice. I am circling the black hole, that is miniature wargaming, and have yet to decide if I want to jump in or not. The fine videos on painting, such like yours, have been enourmously helpful, so far, taking some of the edge off the fear of having to start with utterly ugly minis. Speaking of mines, I understand a very important part of good mini painting is the quality of molding and modeling on the mini itself. I hase a feeling the details on minis from Warhammer (either variant) and many other fantasy or purely arts based figures seem to be very precisely molded. Many historical figures look like they are not quite as crisply molded. Is that in fact true or am I missing something/looking wrong?
@@lutzderlurch7877 that's a fair comment about the quality of casts. I think that a lot of historical figures are made by very small operations with limited resources using more traditional techniques than quite a few of the fantasy/sci fi manufacturers out there. Even the big ones like Warlord Games and Perry Miniatures are small fry compared to Games Workshop. A few companies are now producing kits that have been created using 3D software (Victrix, Wargames Atlantic) and the difference in quality is improving. There are some stunningly rendered historical kits out there if you know where to look, and some wonderfully characterful figures with charming, if not cutting edge, designs too!
@@CullodenPaintingStudio I understand the big ones design with 3D technology, then convert to CAD/CAM and machines metal molds with high pressure injection molding? What are the 'trditional' methods? Mildly interested, since I am a pattern maker by trade, so casting, foundry work etc. is still interesting to me. I am leaning towards 7YW and AWI, 28mm, British. So you say I should check out Wargames Atlantic and Victrix?
@@lutzderlurch7877 Perry Miniatures for example sculpt in epoxy putty like greenstuff, and then have some miniatures cast in white metal. They also produce lines in injection moulded plastic - these they sculpt at 3x the regular size ("3 ups") from which steel moulds are tooled via pantograph by Renedra. A lot of the smaller companies are still producing small batches of spin cast metal figures at home or in workshops. It's very much a cottage industry still! For 18th century miniatures you can find AWI in plastic, but I can't think that anyone does SYW. Perry do a comprehensive line of AWI figures. Warlord Games are another option. Victrix and Wargames Atlantic are unfortunately not producing 18th century figures.
Excellent review as always. Very much enjoy all comparison videos, especially regarding historical miniatures. I enjoyed this one as it coincides fairly well with my desire to paint up AWI Continental Army figures which have uniforms quite similar in color to French infantry from your period. Any other comparisons are very much welcomed to include preferred paint manufacturers for 17th-18th century miniatures. Most creators focus on fantasy so good on you for highlighting historical figures. If you do post a paint comparison then any information on a preferred paint range (of the main line companies like Citadel, Vallejo, Army Painter) for beginners would really hit the mark. Thank you for your efforts.
Thanks for watching this one as well. I do have a very slow burning AWI project on the go. I have been mainly working on militia but have a few continental regiments lined up. I'll be sure to make videos on how I paint them at some point. I think Vallejo are always a solid bet when it comes to painting. Good price and coverage!
Great video. Welcome more comparison videos. Any thoughts on Vallejo shades? Thanks again.
Thanks for watching. The Vallejo shades are now on my list to test out.
Interesting -- I tried a couple of the washes and didn't like them either. I use the rest of the CDA range a lot: their black is my go-to, the horse tones are good and there's a lot of nice 'military' colours. But the washes I did not get on with; I found them to be uneven at shading. I don't think I tried the one brown that you liked though. I ended up settling on the two Vallejo Game Wash colours that come in 200ml bottles and just use those for everything now...
I quite like the CDA paints. They are a pretty good replacement for my old tall hex pots of Citadel from the 90s. Shame about these washes! Vallejo are on my list to test out now.
Coat D'arms Dark Brown seemed solid! It was fun to see a good review of these. I will stick to my oil washes tho :)
Just a shame that the others missed the mark so much.
Still a better price per volume for the bottle than citadel . No idea why people buy over priced stuff
No doubt that Citadel is very expensive in comparison!
It looks significantly worse than citadel and army painter so you get what you pay for lol
@@porcu12345 I think Army Painter probably shades it on value and results, so to speak!
The light brown wash might be nice to try creating rust effects with.
It could have other uses for sure.
I was considering giving this a try but being that I already have Citadel, army Painter and a couple others after seeing your vid I'm gonna give it a pass
Probably the right move. Glad I could be the guinea pig for you!
@@CullodenPaintingStudio thanks for the sacrifice lol
An exercise review but I'm not impressed by these so I'll stick with my normal washes
It was interesting to test them out. I don't think they will replace the Army Painter washes I mostly use.
@@CullodenPaintingStudio I'm currently using darkstar molten miniatures washes
@@basicminiaturepaintingoh I think I remember you sharing some pics of those washes at work on Facebook. They may get added to my list of washes to try. Also thinking about the Two Thin Coats range.
Thanks for an interesting review. Inclined to give this a miss and stick with my existing washes.
I can't really recommend these over the Army Painter or GW washes. Happy to have done the experiment though.
for the dark tone, this is not the same miniature. We can't compare. Dislike.
Thanks for the feedback.
Looks cool.
Thanks. I am very happy with them!
Really cool review. 🖌

I highly reccommend checking out the Liberty Rifles for inspiration on painting uniforms of the era
Thanks for the suggestion.
Excellent comparison
Thanks mate
Would be great to see a comparison like that of AK and Vallejo washes. Thank you for sharing.
Maybe Vallejo one day. AK Interactive are not going to appear though. Using imagery from the Holocaust in an advertising campaign for a book was unconscionable.
Isn't the tiny bottle of "Wash Medium" really just a flow improver? I buy large bottles of artist flow improver for allot less than those tiny bottles.
A big bottle of flow improver probably does the job just as well. Thought testing the branded stuff was the most fair way of doing the test.
This is a great video, when I have time I need to give it a proper watch. I’ve been experimenting with citadels new vs old formula verse Duncan Rhodes washes. I have a bottle of strong tone I’ve never really tried and didn’t realize they also changed their formula ? Lots to sift through, and it’s hard to pick a ‘best’ because they can be applied for different reasons to get different desired results. But some are better than others for each task! Thanks
Glad you like the video. There are loads of applications for the shades or washes, and while there probably is a "best" product for each job it's a lot of work to find it. I think that the filter effect that the GW shades gives could be very appropriate for dirtier finishes for example. I haven't handled any of the Two Thin Coats range yet so may need to look out for them myself.
@@CullodenPaintingStudio the Duncan washes are very nice imo, they’re most comparable to the original citadel washes in that they tint extremely well so give great bits of shadows to work with. Battle Mud Wash for example is the agrax earth shade equivalent and I prefer it to old citadel currently. It looks a bit murky on the palette, but I think is because it has a drop of matte medium in it because it dries so matte.
@@legiox217 that's good to know. Maybe I will seek them out for a video at some point.
@@CullodenPaintingStudio I am keen to compare them to the army painter versions now haha. They were so much stronger than the new citadel washes that it made my new formula citadel washes seem like they had no pigmentation… they do flow nicely into recesses but when you need to stain or tint something the new citadels aren’t great at all for me, though I hear applying two coats gets a similar effect. I have the “old” dark tone I believe …so I guess I need to grab a bottle of the new one now.
Great breakdown of different tones by both gives a honest and great comparison and how they can affect the miniatures much appreciated and great watch 😊
Thanks very much. I'm glad I'm not the only one who wanted to see the difference between the ranges.
I'd go for Strong Tone with or without medium as the overall winner there.
Strong Tone is a great all-rounder. Adding some medium is my preference.
@@CullodenPaintingStudio 👍
Though I am a confirmed tight-wad and just use brown ink and Flash floor polish (which comes out the same for a fraction of the price) 🙂
@@pumbar An absolute classic.
@@CullodenPaintingStudio 🤣👍
Strong tone's old formula used to be very viscous and had the pigment levels of a tint more than a wash. Strange change, Ill have to make some changed to my painting recipes. Great video.
Yeah, there's definitely a difference between old and new AP Washes. I did a video on them recently to show the changes. Overall a change for the best!
I also live in the Inverness area. Can you recommend any local hobby shops?
Hello, aside from the Warhammer shop, there is Ellerium Games (board and card games, RPGs, GW) and an online shop that organises some gaming days in a church hall www.simpaul-wargaming.com/ Not a whole lot of hobby shops in this part of the world.
