The spontoon on the officer is a separate piece. I like the drawn sword, although it is a bit thin for a sword, more like a rapier.

The French musketeer was a freebie thrown in by Mr Hagerty - thanks!
F-15a French dismounted dragoon
H2 - Heavy horse, running
Imperialist offers five different horses: 3 heavy and 2 medium. When one orders mounted figures, the choice of mount is yours.
M23b Austrian cuirassier, drawn pistol, tricorn
The saddle is cast with the rider as one piece.
So far I like the selections from Imperialist. All of the minis in this order measure 25mm from sole of foot to the forehead. There are some differences in sculpting, with some being smoother and some being more detailed. My favorite is the Palatinate musketeer, although all of them will be used in one fashion or another.

Thanks for posting these interesting figures. I look forward to seeing what you do with them. I like the Austrian musketeer's hat...
What do you think you need to add to these chaps?
best wishes

Not my period, but very nice figures indeed. Thanks for sharing.
Nice minis indeed, full of appropriate character for your project. The English grenadier could be turned into a haubardier and the French dismounted dragoon into an ambuscadier, I guess?
Staying tuned to follow the developments of your project!
I have finally decided to chart my own project:

Do pop by...
Most of these minis need a mottle (from the right shoulder) except the Palatinate fellow...
Greg you sneeky beast you! I had no idea you had started playing in the Monster Blood Tattoo settings.
I've been mumbling about doing this forever.
Got to say, I'm not liking these figs. I think there's some better ones out there.
I'm watching with great anticipation....

For sure you already know and enjoyed D.M. Cornish's exciting uniform plates?
Eli, I was trying to keep a low profile on this project, until my fearless French friend sounded the charge! :)
