From JamesR - 28mm Prussian Landwehr Cavalry (70 points)

Hello,

I've managed to finish painting seven Old Glory Prussian Landwehr Cavalry.

They are from the 4th Regiment of the 4th Silesian Landweher Cavalry. They are wearing frumpy schirmutz caps instead of proper shakos. Instead doing my own research, I filched the color scheme from the terrific "Blunders on the Danube" blog.

Here they running towards the left of your computer screen. I've included three previously painted models, that I posted a month ago, before I ran out of blue paint.


Here they are running away.


Here they are helping the Rohirrim cleanse the land of orcs.



Love,

Baconfat

    1. I think all you have to do is call it Imagi-Nations and they forgive you. There's whole groups of guys who paint and play the SYW and Napoleonic era wrong.

  2. Orcs? One way to stick it to the button counters ;-)

  3. Sharp-looking fellows there.

    The little commentaries for each pic were cracking me up. Napoleonics vs. Orcs sounds like something folks would've played back in the 70s (and I mean that as a compliment).

    Prussian Efficiency vs the Evil of Mordor - now that's a titanic struggle if ever there was one!

  10. Nice brushwork James. I really like the OG sculpts. They might not be 100% anatomically correct but they have bags of character and you've painted them up a treat.
