This unit of Roman cavalry is composed entirely of Crusader miniatures.
At the last Historicon held at the ex-Host in Lancaster in July 2018, there was a vendor on the upper level who had a pretty wide selection of Crusader miniatures, and was having a nice sale for the Convention, so these were among the packs I picked up during my Sunday pas through prior to departing for home. .
Perhaps they will fare better against the dreaded Carthaginian mounted arm?
They were fun to paint up, especially the cloaks.
At least they'll look as god from behind as from the front!
The Bay horses set off the other colors well, I think.
Great work again Peter, and the highlights on the red cloak work very nicely indeed.
ReplyDeletehanks, Lawrence; cloaks are always fun to paint in any era!
DeleteI do like seeing your Roman cavalry on Bay horses.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like them, Jon. These are probably my favorite of the lot.
DeleteSplendid - they look angry and ready to do harm!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Allan. They do look determined!

DeleteNice looking group. The bay horses look good with the blue and red of the riders.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jake. I painted up all the horse for this series (24) in advance, and well before the riders, and then matched up the horse colors with the riders.
DeleteNice looking unit, the horses look particularly fine.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Peter. For this unit, all the horse castings are Crusader as well.
