Cool [Suggestion] "Dragoon" set

So this idea is inspired by Colonel William Tavington (from the movie "The Patriot") who, in turn, was inspired by Sir Banastre Tarleton. Colonel Tavington is leader of a band of ruthless cavalry known as the "Green Dragoons", and I think their outfit would be a perfect equipment set. Some images:
  1. Colonel Tavington
  2. Dragoon Charge
  3. Dragoon Carabiniers (<--- 2 separate links)
  4. Dragoon Dual-wielding sword & pistol

So anyway, I was thinking that this could be a good 5-6 item set (6 if GD releases with sword & pistol dual-wielding, 5 if it doesn't)
Items:
* If GD releases with sword & pistol dual-wielding, there could be the sword and pistol both in GD, if not then just the carbine would suffice

Now if the belt is taken away from that, and sword + pistol dual-wielding cannot be accomplished by the time GD releases, this would be a good 5-piece set, IMO (If sword + pistol dual-wielding is managed, it would be 6 items). It fits the time frame GD is going for, and it looks completely badass.
So tell me what you think! Would you like to see this as a set? Also, if you did like this idea, check out my similar suggestion for a "Hussar" set
Cheers,
Younghappy

just to let you know all the 'dragoon' links in the first lot don't work.
I do however like the idea of such a set.

Whoever is hosting that site is too self-important to let you directly link copyrighted images they don't even own.

You like that helm? Doesn't feel intimidating enough for an arpg imo. The idea is well thought out though and is generally awesome!

Maybe not intimidating, but the whole set just looks really cool IMO. And if the set would only be able to be complete with a sword + pistol dual wield (meaning only combat mastery would be able to complete it), it would give me a good reason to transfer it to another one of my chars, if I'm not playing combat mastery on the char I find this set on.
But if sword + pistol dual wield can't be completed by the time GD releases, I'll be happy with this set (if they include it ) and a carbine (rifle)

Cool idea for an equipment set. I think I'll try to use the dragoon uniform style / colors for an armor art set, although I'm not sure whether it will end up being an actual item set or not. Thnx for the suggestion!

Sweet! Tbh I didn't think you guys would actually see this anyway, but to know this could possibly actually be a set (or that there could be a set based off an idea i suggested)...
Cheers,
Younghappy

Btw, since you've seen this, have you seen my other suggestion for a Winged Hussar set? Could that possibly make it in too?
