Cavalry for the '45 and SYW

These are the new releases from Redbox for the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745, but they will work just as well for the Seven Years War. I painted up 6 units from 4 boxes and by using a few Jacobite left overs added a trio of generals. Only Dragoons were present in the '45. The Horse was in Germany. Since I already had some cavalry I painted one as British and the other two as Hanovarian
The 3rd Dragoon Guards
Hanovarian Lieb Regiment
Hanovarian Dachenhausen Cavalry
9th Dragoons, not involved in the '45 but could replace the 11th that fought at Culloden if needed as it also had buff facings.
13th or Gardiner's Dragoons, performed appallingly at Prestonpans and not much better at Falkirk
14th or Hamilton’s Dragoons, didn't perform any better. Neither regiment participated at Culloden, but the 10th Dragoons who were there had yellow facings.
