From KentG: 28mm English Civil War Parliamentarian cavalry (240pts)


Well I didn’t think I was going to get anything else completed
This week, foolishly instead of completing a set of Napoleonic cav I 
Had already started on I started a bunch of ecw cav instead
Stayed up till 12 pm last night and the got back up at 5.30am 
This morning to try and finish them, here is three of the 4 regiments of
Parliamentarian cavalry

Some light cav to start with, all the cav are 28mm 
Warlord games figures



The cuirassiers are one of my favourite s in this batch
They are metals figures on plastic horses



The dragoons are also metals on plastic horses
Whoever sculpted these just didn’t know where to stop with 
All the extra stowage




Points
24 x 28mm cavalry =240pts


From Millsy: Quite the force of cavalry you have here Kent and although they are Parliamentarian and are therefore the "bad guys" I still love them. The horses are just wonderful, right down to the details like socks and muzzles, and the rich red of the coats on the dragoons really pop against the blue facings. Great work mate and a decent sized addition to your points tally.

  1. Very tidy work on these chaps. I've always had a soft spot for the ECW's most famous regiment of cuirassiers, Haselrig's Horse, aka The Regiment of Lobsters. I still have a box of them languishing in the Pile of Shame.

    Pay no attention to Millsy's political analyses, he is a diehard Royalist and probably a Jacobite into the bargain. ; )

    1. Cheers Evan, they just look great in all their armor don't they, I might be able to appease Millsy as I have about 50-60 renegade miniatures cavalry sitting in front of me and maybe could do a Royalist set

  3. Those are well done Kent, Warlord cavalry are a notch above their infantry I think and you've shown them off nicely

    1. One of my favorite things to do is paint horse which is lucky for me as this challenge I'm trying to make a small dent in the pile of boxes of cavalry I have.
