From JohnS: A Speck of Slaughterloo Uhlans (110 points)

Next up in my All Slaughterloo Challenge Cavalcade are these Krautian Uhlan Lancers accompanied by a Krautian Staff Officer.

Uhlan Lancers and Officer

Mounted on savage boars, the Krautian Uhlans are the pride of the Dwarf Cavalry and their Death's Head badge strike fear into the enemies of Blooka's Children (as the inhabitants of the Krautian nation are proud to call themselves.)

An officer knows that hydration is key

The Krautian Staff Officer is mounted on a fine fat farm bred pig as this reflects his more genteel upbringing. In keeping with Dwarven tradition the Officer always has a frosty stein of bier handy to ward off the rigours of dehydration. Officering is thirsty work.

Standard Bearer, Line Officer and Staff Officer.

The Officers inspect the troops.

Armed with lances and dwarf muskets the pitiless Light Cavalry rove the battlefields of Valon at will, displaying their superior boarsmanship and charging home when least expected.

The lances aren't just for warfare. They make a handy tool for spit-roasting any mounts that don't make the grade. After salting and smoking, of course. Delicious when washed down with a stein or two of Krautian Schwarzenbier.

This was another fun paint and a good diversion from preparation for Cancon (Australia's largest games convention) which is next weekend. I was helped along by a couple of great paint and chat sessions too.

From Millsy:

"Boarsmanship" is my word of the week now. Everything about this submission made me laugh and think I am really missing out on something through not having played or painted any Slaughterloo over the years.

These fine fellow have real presence and look more like heavy cavalry with their chunky dwarf bodies on chunky boar mounts. I really like you choice of blue and gold which pairs nicely with their beards, something that seems very appropriate for a uhlan for whom sartorial style is a must have. They even have a slightly piratical look about them which is what being a light cavalry man dwarf is all about!

Cracking work mate and a very well earned 110 points.

Cheers,
Millsy
