Dragoons Go West

I finally finished my two new units of dragoons, and they are:

Sir William Waller's (guidon is for the 5th company, Sir Wiliam Turpin's), ...

... and, Lord Hopton's (guidon is conjectural but pretty)

The dismounted components of both units are new figures, freshly painted.  The coat colours for neither regiment is known, so I wanted something different to my other two regiments in red and blue.  I went with green for Waller's as suitably parliamentarian and functional for troops that spent so much time skulking around in hedges.  For Hopton's I plumped for yellow because, I like it, and there's a period reference to Hopton's yellow-coats that goes against most references that list his foot as blue-coats, so I rationalised that as a mistaken reference to his dragoons - well disprove it if you can.

Waller's mounted dragoons are all, with the exception of the ensign, old figures from my other two units with the coat colour repainted (just the sleeves really) and few other minor embellishments. 

The ensign, with the guidon for Sir Wiliam Turpin's, 5th company is a new figure but the ensign is a repainted one that was spare from the reorganisation of Wardlawe's dragoon unit.  Likewise, the horse-holder, and the horses, which seem to be giving him some trouble, are all new.

By comparison, Hopton's ensign and horse-holder (again all new apart from the re-painted guidon) seem to be having a more relaxed time of it.

Hopton's mounted dragoon figures are mostly re-used surplus figures from Washington's unit with sleeves repainted yellow (plus a few other touches), but with the need for mounted ensigns on the horse-holder bases, two new mounted figures had to be painted up to match.  Can you spot the new ones?

This took much longer than expected, but I am pleased I have finally got round to long planned refurbishment of my dragoons to give me two units a side in place of just one each.  Hopefully, some will get an outing soon in a planned refight of Second Newbury.
