My last Huzzah! for this year's challenge is a group of Prussian Landwehr cavalry, from the 1st and 2nd Silesian regiments. The figures are Perry metals, and are lovely, although ideally I'd like my Landwehr to look a bit more motley. These chaps are uncharacteristically pristine. Unfortunately, their pennons didn't arrive in time (I actually finished painting these a few days ago), and they will look better with bright white over yellow and red over yellow pennants.
That's it for me this year, and 18 cavalry figures will allow me to comfortable reach my goal. Despite being on leave this term I have been busy and preoccupied, so the painting has suffered a little. I have also been very slack commenting on the wonderful submissions everyone has been putting up, for which I apologise. Many thanks as always to Curt and the Minions (especially our own Millsy) for making all this happen.
From Millsy:
Very, very nice indeed Alan! Landwehr have a bad reputation at times and it means we don't see that many as we probably should have in the late war. That rich blue/grey uniform colour is lovely and the dagger edging on the shabraques and the facing colours really pops too.
180 more points is a great way to close out your Challenge. Can't wait to face them across the table mate. Love em!
Cheers,
Millsy
Great addition to a lovely army that you've built Alan!
