From ChristopherS: Confederate Cavalry (60 points)

This will be third submission to the challenge and my second cavalry. I painted a union cavalry and now I'm adding a confederate to keep pace with the union. I really would like to find a way to paint cavalry quicker, but how I prefer my models to look pretty much requires the same method every time. Something about old dogs and tricks comes to mind....

The figures are once again the very lively and characterful Sash and Saber range which are really fun to paint and make you hum a civil war tune as you go through the process.

The paints I used were mostly Foundry as they have been my go to brand for many years plus of course the ever trusty Vallejo line with some Mig pigments for weathering rocks and stuff.

I'm not sure what I'll paint next as I still need more cavalry and dismounted cavalry for ACW, but some of my other collections are really in need of some additions right now.

Thanks for viewing!

That's 6 mounted figures at 28mm for 60pts. 

Well, I'd say it is not really necessary to learn new tricks when you are so very good at the old ones, Christopher! These Confederate horsemen look absolutely stunning. The painting is immaculate, with the meticulous highlighting and shadowing, and the variety in the "uniforms" is really very, very nice. You may be slower than others, but your results are definitely worth the wait. 60 glorious points for you!
