I'm through with Dark Angels Green. Can anyone recommend a Vallejo colour for French Chasseurs a Cheval? Name and number would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

Could I add a supplementary question?

Some years ago there was a theory advanced that French dragoons actually wore the same dark green as the chasseurs a cheval, rather than the brighter version (ie the Humbrol Authentics colour). Was this ever resolved? It did seem logical that two branches of the same arm of service would use the same green, especially as the rest of their uniforms would provide any visual distintion required.

Check out the following actual uniforms:

4th Dragoons
and:

8th Chasseurs.
Both appear to be the same very dark green.

I'm using a mix of 1/3 970 and 2/3 968 for my Württemberg chasseurs. It looks about right. I will be using the same for French dragoons, leadwatchers' regime permitting. The 970 pure seems a bit too garish.

Cheers,
Mark
