From SteveG: Ancient Germanic Cavalry (70 points)

German Cavalry 28mm metal mostly by Warlord Games.   Love the riders.  Chock full of personality.  Sadly their horses are emaciated nags, so I’ve swapped a few out for the excellent plastic “light horses” by Wargames Atlantic.   Much better proportioned and lively looking steeds!

 Also shown below is a very much inferior plastic old Wargames Factory Germanic Cavalry. To be avoided unless you’re paid to take them  IMHO  😊.

From Millsy:

I'm so glad you've joined us this year Steve and that I have the privilege of minioning your posts. I find myself looking for them each Friday when I start processing posts. There's just something about your style that really floats my hobby boat.

Maybe it's your choice of subject matter, or your brushwork, or your amazing basing. Ultimately I think it's a mix of all of them and a bunch of other stuff too.

Good call swapping out some of the horses. Such brave looking warriors deserve a mount of equal robustness.

70 more points added to your tally mate. Can't wait for next week!

Cheers,
Millsy
