Well, they're a little rough around the edges and a fair bit of detail is either rather shaky, simplified, just plain missing, or quietly painted over without cutting and filing, but as glossy toys, they're fine for my purposes and I'm happy to have these figures back in service.

Of course, this gives the Coalition forces 3 cavalry regiments to the Repulic's single one. I should probably respond by adding some French Cavalry in Bicornes.
Yes, the arms race begins.

DeleteOh I think it started 3 yearsago when the French recruited an Hussar unit.
Excellent, we will continue to monitor the developments.
DeleteLovely! A really nice unit, Scruby explains why I was not sure of what figures you used, I like them they really have a certain style.
ReplyDeleteThey do indeed, Seeing some painted in shiny toy soldier style caused a complete revolution in style for my armies.
DeleteGreat glossy toys imho.

Thanks. Hopefully they'll be in action soon.
DeleteNice shiny toys !
ReplyDeleteRecycle, reuse!
DeleteThey look great to me Ross!
ReplyDeleteBut, can they still fight? We shall see.
DeleteNice glossy, shiny toys. Exactly what it says on the box, and more than fit for purpose. Simple as that. As for ability to fight - I'd need to see the cript before commenting on that!
ReplyDeleteIn context, I believe the question should be: "Can they roll?".
DeleteCan't go wrong with crested helmeted cavalry for eye candy. I like the combination of the cream coat and white lace on the trumpeter: very elegant.
ReplyDeleteI think this the only cavalry unit with Buff facings that I've ever painted. I rather like the look.
Delete>a little rough around the edges and a fair bit of detail is either rather shaky, simplified, just plain missing, or quietly painted over without cutting and filing
ReplyDeleteWHAAATT!?! You mean you're not painting your figures to museum-quality standards?!? Heaven forbid!
Does Warlord Games know about this?!
...But somehow we'll (temporarily) over look this ..........somehow.
I've never painted to museum standards, most museum displays I've seen had really crude painting, aiming perhaps to reproduce the loss of detail when one is far enough away from the real thing to make the soldiers look small.
DeleteThey look great. The heads fit nicely.
ReplyDeleteI was rather happy to find a way to keep them on the table. And rather fitting since so many British immigrants served in 19thC US cavalry.
DeleteThey scrubbed up really well Ross (sorry, could not resist!).
