British Household Brigade

In Black Powder, the Household Cavalry delivers a commanding battlefield presence, perfectly suited for recreating the dramatic cavalry clashes of Waterloo. Their devastating charges against French infantry and cuirassiers became some of the defining moments of the campaign.

The distinctive appearance of the regiments adds tremendous visual character to the tabletop. The Horse Guards earned the nickname “The Blues” thanks to their striking blue tunics, while the Life Guards marched into battle in vivid scarlet uniforms, creating one of the most recognisable cavalry formations of the era.

This set allows you to build a full 12-man unit representing either the Horse Guards or one of the Life Guards regiments. The included command options enhance both the historical flavour and visual impact of the formation.

With their polished armour, powerful horses and iconic uniforms, these cavalrymen create an impressive centrepiece for any British Napoleonic collection. They are especially well suited for Waterloo-themed armies and large historical engagements.

When the Household Brigade launches its charge, it brings all the force, prestige and battlefield shock power of Britain’s elite cavalry crashing into the enemy line.
