The latest reinforcement for the Grand Alliance in the Peninsular is the Jorger Dragoon Regiment. Originally formed by Count Ludwig Herbeville, the regiment soldiered in Italy until 1708 when it was sent to Catalonia for the Hapsburg cause. It would later go onto become the Kollowrat-Krakowski Dragoons in the Seven Year War and be disbanded in 1802 as the Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld regiment.

These guys are painted in my new fast painting style. The horses are painted with a base colour and then washed with Army Painter dark tone ink. I did consider a highlight of the original colour, but forgot, and they don't look any worse for it. Certainly a lot faster than my 4 layer technique! And although it doesn't look as good, for gaming miniatures I'm fine with them.
There's some ancient light infantry up next, and then I'll be getting into some French Dragoons to even the sides up a bit.
