KenR - 28mm Spanish Heavy Cavalry 4 & 5 (124 pts)

 

Not one but two units of Spanish Heavy Cavalry for my Italian Wars collection this week, a slight brain slip meant I ended up doing two horse units back to back as I forgot to do the planned infantry unit in between !

You should be familiar with these by now, 28mm figures from The Assault Group (TAG) based 2 per base on 50 x 60 bases with 6 figures per unit, horses painted in oil, figures in acrylics, flags by Petes Flags.

Unit one in a red, yellow, white and black scheme (based on the flags), I realised after doing the photos that the centre bases were in the wrong units !

Unit two in a yellow, red and blue scheme. Points are 12 x 28mm mounted at 10 points each plus 4 flags at a point each giving 124 points.

And finally because I know you like to see here are the Spanish Gent d'Armes so far, just 6 more to go, which could be done next week. On the table at the moment are the Prussian Landwehr Battalion I should have done this week ๐Ÿ˜†

They may be early, but they are a wonderful sight Ken.  Fantastic as always. Now put a sticky note up to work on the Prussian Landwehr.

  7. Oh wow these figures painted so well are great on the eye. Mixed up units - who ever heard of properly disciplined nobility on horses :) I think they will go straight into uncontrolled charging when they get to the game table!

    1. Thankfully the Spanish did a lot of hiding behind barricades which should keep them in !
