The latest additions to the SYW expansion project are the 2nd Horse. The figures are from Foundry as ever. I dispensed with the drummer from the Command pack (I made use of him with an odd General figure to make a second Commander base in Black Powder for my British cavalry.) Here they are drawn up for your appreciation ~
The standard is from the range offered by GMB Designs, whose service I've always found first class. (Other SYW flags are available from Flags of War in the F&IW range.) The bases are from my chums at Warbases; the ground texture is three grades of railway buff ballast from Woodland Scenics; the tufts are from Gamers Grass via Great Escape Games ~
Despite a very busy few days, at least by the standards of we retirees, I've also started the figures for the Orleans cavalry for my French army. Some flags I'd ordered this last week from GMB Designs arrived yesterday too. They are for Robinson's Foot, the 45th; the Royal Bavarie; and the Garde Lorraine. The latter I intend to paint in yellow coats faced black, very Wolverhampton! Meanwhile, the Cavalry General and his drummer ~
A fine body of men!
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased you think so.
DeleteA splendid unit of sabre rattlers there Mr. B.
ReplyDeleteYou will no doubt be leading them into action next month.
DeleteA great looking regiment David!

Thanks Aly, much appreciated.
DeleteThey look very pretty, almost as nice as Napoleonics 🖒 I love the mounted drummer great work all round
ReplyDeleteThanks for the positive response Russ.
DeleteLovely, two cavalry units in my next recruits.
ReplyDeleteAll the way from Vietnam! Looking forward to seeing your new cavalry. I'm half way through the Orleans cavalry for the SYW French now.
DeleteThey are on the list David, still got two grenadier battalions first and fighting against more WWII.
DeleteMore WWII? Now that would be overkill. Just get an artillery spotter, ask Phil!
DeleteLovely looking cavalry unit! Can't beat a tricorne!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain. I wish the Orleans Cavalry I'm working on now we're done though!
