From KentG: 28mm cavalry (320pts)

Well here we are back again, this time it’s all cavalry 
The funny thing is I had said that after the last challenge 
I wouldn’t be doing much cav well you can see how that plan worked 
Out. There’s three different lots of cav, not sure what I was thinking
All those hand painted shields took way to long especially 
The checkered pattern


These first 12 are Spanish Jinetes by Gripping Beast
Not the most detailed figures but they still really nicely




Next up just because who needs more detailed shield yip me
So here Gallic cavalry by Gripping beast again I actually really enjoyed 
These 



 I had a lot of fun painting these next 8 figures by
Bloody miniatures, the detail on these English Civil war minis
Is so really nice and great to paint


Black is always a fun colour to paint
As most if not all of us know, but I’m 
Really pleased with the result on this chap





No flag on the pole here the new owner of
These figures haven’t made up his mind yet.



So let’s total up for the week 
32 x 28mm cavalry @ 10pts each 320pts 
Which means I’ve hit my target for this challenge 


From Millsy:

A wonderful batch of cavalry Kent, all beautifully painted as ever and with a great mix of coats colours on the horses which adds so much interest and variety. 

My initial though was the shield designs were decals and then I read your copy. These are absolutely brilliant mate, particularly the checks which are an absolute bugger to get right regardless of scale.

This 320 point cavalry bomb blasts you through your original 1,500 point total and we're not even halfway! Please let me know your revised total and I will update the roster accordingly.

Cheers,
Millsy
