These are actually the same models painted slightly differently. For the regular cavalry I have gone for purple tunics and bronze helms. These guys carry short spears or javelins and will provide a firm flank to my army. The Light Cavalry underwent a slight conversion to give them soft caps rather than helmets. I filed the helmets flat, removing the crest, and painted them grey to look like Macedonian Kausia hats (similar to modern Afghan Pakol's).
These will be the last cavalry for the moment...I have some more elephants waiting in the wings and my next bonus round entry. These have been started and I'm working hard to finish them early because I'm going away for a few days next week. I'm well on track to hit my target ahead of schedule and the 45 points I'll get from these get me another step closer.
MilesR: Sorry I missed these last week but they really are worth waiting for - superbly done!
Fine looking troops I like the color you picked.
ReplyDeleteSmall troops need small comments. Fab
ReplyDeleteNice looking Cav Lee. The purple really looks good on these guys.
ReplyDeleteNice cavalry Lee :)
ReplyDeleteAn amazing feat in a tiny scale. I currently have some 6mm cav on my painting bench and they are not as easy to knock out en masse as one would thing. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThe Monday dose of 6mm awesomeness. Great work Lee.
ReplyDeleteWell done Lee, I really love how you made it look like a massive unit of horse on those bases. Grand stuff indeed!
ReplyDeleteNicely done Lee!
ReplyDeleteWell done Lee!

Wow again Lee. You caved down the helmets on 6mm troops - if I trie that I would have mass beheadings on my hands.
ReplyDeleteThese are great, I was talking to Peter at Baccus and told him he needs to see your work here as it's so very good

More 6mm amazement. Great stuff. cheers
ReplyDeleteArrgh, lovely.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant, I like the notes on the back of the base too, must make playing much easier.
