8 More Cavalry

Yes Matt has 8 more cavalry. Yes the pic shows 9, one was one I had painted previously and Matt wanted these all to fit in with duller colours and more muted hues. I think I have achieved that.

There is a flag to add, but Matt will be adding the flags from now on as he KNOWS it is a task I detest. I am sure I could do it with practice but to be honest I do not enjoy that part of painting in the least so he can do it from now on.

Additionally Matt has yet to see these figures, I normally give him a sneak peek prior to posting on the blog. But as Matt is out of the office and on holiday (I hope somewhere nice.. let us be honest if it was not nice why did he choose to go there!!?)

I have placed the older figure among the group and I for one cannot tell it apart so don't ask me. The figures are all 28mm EITHER Perry or Foundry miniatures. (I think Perry as the horses seem more refined but I could easily be wrong)>

 Another post on Saturday. The figures are already painted and ready to photograph but no time today. (As well as being in a different scale and part of the world so they would not fit in with this post)>

Thanks for looking and more in 2 days.
All the best Clint

    Very nice looking cavalry Clint, the extra touches on the horses like the socks and muzzles makes all the difference

      Thanks Dave. I agree most wargames don't look at horses and just paint them brown....
      They really do have many more markings. Each of them also has a star or blasé, but it does tend to be hidden by the bridle on the models.

    Great looking unit Clint, nice choice of colours to meet Matt's "muted palette" brief.

      Thank you Addict. I hope matt likes them. I am sure he will. I will have a go at making some terrain again soon. (Just for a laugh).

    Tip top stuff, Clint. They look excellent, and as Dave says, the socks and muzzles really do add that extra bit to the horses.

    I totally agree with Dave and Simon regarding the horses. It is heartening to see you go the extra mile on them.

      Thank you Bryan, My sister would have words if I did not put marking on the nags. My elder sister is horse barmy, seriously growing up if it did not have a tail and four legs she was not IN ANY way interested. She has changed since we were both kids though.

      Thank you Michael. Not sure what I will post on the blog on Saturday, either more 15mm Japanese or some terrain I am working on... if Terrain it will be work in progress.

    I too have always deteted painting horses, much more so than other figures (which I also hate painting), but these look very good and hopefully as 'drab' as Matt wants!

      Thank you Joe. Matt phoned me yesterday to say how happy he was with them. So all is good in that regard.
