Oh wait, that was Persian nobles, these lads will need to be able to ride, to shoot, and to enforce law and order.

To Ride, to Shoot and To Tell The Truth.
Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal 7 decades ago. Began playing with toy soldiers at 5 years. Started painting & converting at about 12 yrs and wargaming about 15 yrs. Never really stopped.
5 years in the Black Watch of Canada Cadets, 5 years at the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean followed by 4 in the navy. 25 years with CPC in IT simultaneous with 23 years running a boarding kennel. Inherited my love of toy soldiers from my mother's father. Married with a pack of litle Italian Greyhounds and a cat. Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 170 yr old farmhouse and just living.

Yeah, these troops look a bit ghostly...
ReplyDeleteDarn! That would have been a good title: "Ghost riders on your screen". ((damn, now that tune is going to keep popping into my brain all day)
DeleteInteresting figures, I look forward to seeing them in their uniforms!
ReplyDeleteJust about finished choosing options.

It had been one hell of a night before..
DeleteGhost riders of the purple sage, sorry prairie?
ReplyDeleteI do like the look of these and they will paint up really well I am sure. What unit sizes are you running with these days?
I am back to my original 4 infantry, 3 cavalry.
DeleteA fun and interesting unit to have in any war-game!

But whiskey now banned in my games room without a licence now that the mounties have shown up.
DeleteAlways preferred brandy myself. And mead. Polish is best. And wine. Some really (really) nice English wines around these days. And hot saki or plum wine. I apologise to all those nice tasting beverages I've omitted.
