finally, a unit of Horse in red
to be honest I don't really care for the "waving a sword around over my head" pose
so I tried to do something different with these guys
I think that they turned out OK
finally getting the hang of the faces,
the detail is so much more delicate than most metal figures
now if I could just get some different horses in plastic everything would be wonderful
Again these are the same Warlord Games (ex Wargames Factory) Lace Wars cavalry. The available options in the boxed set are nearly limitless. Even with the price increase from Warlord they are still a good value for the money.
A great looking cavalry, beautiful uniform!
ReplyDeleteVery well done indeed. I agree about the sword waving...much better the way you've done it. I have a couple of boxes of these somewhere too...another one of those 'get round to it one day' things.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking figures Anton.
ReplyDeleteAnother sleepless night painting? Excellent paint work Anton.
ReplyDeleteWonderful looking cavalry Anton
ReplyDeleteFigures look good. Nice painting!
ReplyDeleteI like the waving the sword look but I agree also it’s nice too see something different 😀
These look GREAT! Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for the kind words. The sword -waving thing boils down to this; a drawn sword was normally held with the hilt on the right thigh and the back edge of the blade against the right shoulder, when charging the straight sword was held thrust out with the arm rotated so the right thumb was downward and the elbow to the outside, if they made that pose I would love it and use it. Fussy I know, but I guess I'm just like that.
