Please use this post to discuss what bonus figures you would like to see and what HaT set you would like it to match in size.

To match the mounted officer in the command set (British) for size. Bonus figure officer mounted, no horse, charging, General Sir John Moore once again mounted but no horse.

Light Dragoons should match Italeri's Light Cavalry Set 6044.

A mounted officer for both Light dragoons and Heavy Dragoons would be nice. An additional trumpetter for each would even be nicer.
Obviously these just need to match the troopers ;-)

(1) A mounted cavalry brigade commander, suitable for the Peninsular period. Suggest general officer's uniform (not full dress) (2) A mounted ADC suitable for the Peninsular period, who might be in regimental uniform, but doing some ADCy thing, rather than waving a sword around.

Sizing: Either the lights matching 8029 Chasseurs a Cheval and the heavies matching 8013 Horse Grenadiers. Or Make the lights match your 1815 Prussian Hussars and use the digitised sizing to make the heavies just a little bit bigger. I think that might give a good match with the Peninsular British infantry. Bonus figs: officers for the light and heavy dragoons are a good idea. And I would like an officer of the Staff Cavalry Corps who looks a bit like George Scovell, holding a paper I can draw a cypher on. www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/portraitLarge/mw05678/Sir-George-ScovellAlso, I do like the idea of a figure of Sir John Moore but I'd only need one.

I would match both Light and Heavy Dragoons troopers to Hat's own sets 8016 Russian Cuirassiers, 8013 Horse Grenadiers or 8014 KGL Light Dragoons at 24mm these are well proportioned and match existing sets by other manufactures.
As for the Horses the Heavy Dragoons should be slightly bigger than the Light Dragoons but only by 0.5mm.
Sorry Graeme the 8029 Chasseurs a Cheval set are lovely figures but are too small at 22mm.
Bonus figures mounted officers for Light and Heavy Dragoons.

I am sceptical that Heavy cavalry troopers would, on average, be significantly taller (or broader!) than Light cavalry troopers, such as to show up at scale.
Any evidence that this was the case in practice?
For bonus figures I really like the idea of a trumpeter, as well as a general officer and regimental officer.
I cannot see any sensible reason for making them anything other than a match in size with the plastics.

Great to see some progress on the Light and Heavy Dragoons, I think Horse sizes should be around 23mm measuring from where the hoof touches the base to the top of the blanket covering the shoulder blades of the horse, perhaps half a milometer taller on the Heavy Dragoon Horses.

Horses should be made at the same size/ratio the sculptor made the riders otherwise the riders may not fit the horses! However the heavy dragoon horses may be made slighter larger if the customer base wishes so.

All I see is an image icon. I see the icon on many of the older threads of painted versions of newer sets too.
Is it just me?

The previews are terrific. I contributed to the crowdfunding, and I'll still get some more than what I preordered!

Will be trumpeter in every sprue or it got optional arm? On Heavies I like pose with sword in extreme forward position - ready to stab, not only to cut. I hope it will be such hand with sword.

That was a test pose, the trumpeter arm is one of the optional arms.

They look great.
I would certainly prefer the heavies to have bigger horses. (And arguably the men should be very slightly bigger too.) Are the sprues all going to be troopers? I have bonus figures, so presumably those might be officers.
