From Mike W: 28mm Arthurian Horse and Epic 15mm Carthaginian Horse (170 Points)

 At last I have got all my outstanding Arthurian cavalry completed! This week I have finished off 9 x 28mm horsemen, to join the other guys I completed earlier in the challenge. Next week I hope to get the outstanding foot figures completed as well.

9 x 28mm Gripping Beast Cavalrymen

My painting technique was the same as previous figures for this period, so I will not repeat myself here, 3 of these figures are on armoured horses whilst the rest are on their unarmoured counterparts. As before all these figures are Gripping Beast and I purchased myself a box of Late Roman Heavy Cavalry and Goth Elite Cavalry, in both boxes the torsos are exactly the same moulds, I have just Anglo-Romanised the Goths with head and shield swaps.

Another view of the mounted men in line...

... and from the other side, better showing shield art!

This time around I had planned to give the armoured guys red shields and the others predominantly white shields, however as I was basing these up I realised that I'd accidently applied one of  the red shield patterns to an unarmoured horseman and a corresponding white one to one of the armoured figures! Oh well, I'll just have to get some more figures, to even up the numbers again....

The three fully armoured cavalrymen, again with accidental white shield on the left!

Last three mounted figures, all witht he right shield art!

Continuing the Cavalry theme but going down in scale, I have also completed the outstanding Warlord Epic 15mm Carthaginians that I ran out of time for last week - namely 10 Lybian Heavy Cavalry on two stands accompanied by 10 x Spanish Cavalry on another two bases.

As above but with the rear rank to the front

Again the painting method has been outlined in previous post, this brings my immediate splurge on this Carthaginian Army to a close - apart form when I can source some Celts and some Elephants!

Very nice again, Mike! I always love your Arthurian figures, and these look great. The Epic figures are a good unit too, I hope to see a picture of all your epic miniatures together sometime! Nothing wrong with your calculations, so 170 points will be added to your total. Good job!
