While I was away 'Oop North Phil painted the five horses for the next cavalry squadron in the British tranche of my retro-nostalgia project. As I can only sit and paint in very truncated sessions painting the five riders was an obvious choice. They took a while, but here they be for your perusal and hopefully endorsement ~
Figures from
Warfare Miniatures, base from
Warbases of course, and standard from David's wonderful blog
Not By Appointment. I should point out that it is not the correct standard for the regiment, but its green and so will do for me!
Phil also painted the trumpet banner for me, having sharper eyes and a steadier hand than I do! I have really enjoyed painting the riders from this range of figures...
...and rejoice daily that I have not had to paint the bl**dy horses!
Here they are set out on the tabletop battlefield here in GHQ as the Horse lead by Wood thunder past the artillery! Next to endure their rite of passage under the
Brush of Doom are the Royal Regiment in Ireland. More on them as and when...
