The "All Blacks" of the French Cavalry

The temptation just got too much for me... The tent project has been shelved and I accidentally opened a box of Hat's Horse Grenadiers of the Imperial Guard. I knew absolutely nothing about this body of men so I did a bit of research. After about 10 mins on Wikipedia I have come to the conclusion that they were pretty much like the "Jonah Lomus" of the army. It seems that they even got out of Russia pretty much unscathed. Impressive reading and a pretty impressive set of figures from Hat. I think this is one of their early sets but I think they pretty much nailed the imposing feeling of these dudes.
