KenR : Curtgeld : 28mm Napoleonic French Lancers - 40 pts

 

With a big 15mm Napoleonic figure collection i have avoided going big and upscaling to 28mm, there are so many lovely figures in the scale and with plastics its so much cheaper. Over the years I've picked up the odd sprue and the Curtgeld is a good excuse to paint one up.

These figures are from Warlord and came free on one of the magazines a few years ago. Detail wise they are pretty good although the face on the sword guy was a bit poor, I prefer Perrys stuff personally but these do paint up well.

The two figures are painted in my usual style, oils on the horses and acrylic riders, they make a nice Skirmish  / Scouting or Command Base. The horses didn't have their own bases just a couple of extra bits of plastic under a couple of the legs so it could be interesting getting this to its new owner.

I've suggested a new owner to Curt, let's see if he agrees and they make the grade 😁 I would really like them to go to someone who will use them on the table, it would be great to see them in action !

Points wise it should be 20 for 2 x 28mm Cavalry plus 20 for the Curtgeld so 40 in total.

It was a nice change from the Allied Italian Legion Project, but its back to the grindstone with the white paint now, I hope to have the first 32 Principes done over the weekend.

Whoever gets these is a lucky person Ken - they look lovely indeed. Always good to mix up your painting as anything gets rather samey, and a change is a good as a holiday they say! Now get back to those Italians!
