I was looking back through my blog and wondered what I was up to 10 years ago - and came up with this ! . I was deeply into the Italian Wars of Independence , I need to get these figures back onto the tabletop again ....

Piedmontese Lancers .
My next order from Irregular arrive at the weekend comprising of 2 squadrons of Lancers and a gun, crew and limber/team . Spurred on I painted up the first of the Lancer units .
They are the Lancieri Di Novara , I've decided to go a bit more cavalry heavy with the Piedmontese force and as I haven't got any lancers in my Unification of Italy project they were an obvious choice . Just to make things a bit more interesting they had their shako covered with a 'yellow' waterproof cover . Irregular figures are not the most detailed but they do paint up quickly and at 'wargaming table distance' (about 3' ish) they look as good as any other manufacturer .
They are lovely indeed, you certainly need to get them on the table, be a treat to see your collection.
