Perry Miniatures Napoleonic British Scots Greys Galloping 28mm Scale Model Metal Figures

This28mm metalcavalry set features three iconic North British Dragoons (Scots Greys) in high-action galloping poses with swords shouldered and covered fur caps, capturing their legendary charge at the Battle of Waterloo.

Charge into the fray with the “Scots Greys,” the famous 2nd (North British) Regiment of Dragoons, masterfully sculpted byPerry Miniatures. This set depicts the cavalrymen in dynamic galloping poses, with their swords held in the “shouldered” position. Historically, the Scots Greys were renowned for their massive grey mounts and their distinct bearskin caps, which are shown here with oilcloth covers—the standard protective gear for campaign and inclement weather. Their most famous moment came at Waterloo in 1815, where they captured the eagle of the French 45th Line Infantry during a devastating counter-charge against D’Erlon’s Corps.

Cast in high-detailwhite metal, these figures provide the anatomical precision and weight necessary for a premium command or elite cavalry display. They are designed to seamlessly complement Perry Miniatures’Napoleonic British plastic sets, allowing you to add specialized troop types and movement variety to your heavy cavalry brigades.
