Litko Cavalry Skirmish Trays
A few more Litko movement trays - this time for cavalry in skirmish formation. These were the three remaining such trays on sale from FRP Games. They arrived within a week from ordering; guess I've been really lucky with my orders, as others have mentioned slow delivery. Maybe it's because I'm just two states north of them.
The cavalry are a unit each of Scythian bowmen, Celt/Gallic warband and Tarantine light cavalry. The Scythians and Celt/Gauls are Old Glory, and the Tarantines are mostly Redoubt. They've all been used in games as part of a Successor army. The figures are on GW style bases. In addition to the trays individual bases for each cut out are also supplied. I intend to use some in conjunction with 50mm squares for various formations.

Nice! Those really look sharp.
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to figure out something similar for my Cossacks so I can play skirmish battles as well as Black Powder with them. Main problem is I'd like to have them on round bases (prob 40mm)
I think Litko has movement trays for 40mm rounds too. I just didn't want to re-based the individual figures already on the GW style bases. Best, Dean
DeleteThey look great, Dean! You're like one of those magicians with a magic hat, only instead of birds and rabbits, you pull troop after troop out of yours. Gotta get me one of those. ;-)

DeleteThanks again for your visit and kind words. The one caveat is the bases give a large footprint - fine for skirmish. If these weren't on sale, I would've gone for the 5 model trays. That said, I am satisfied with the trays for larger (table size) games like Hail Caesar. Best, Dean
Great looking units Dean - Litko bases and movement trays are the business!
ReplyDeleteNice, very nice looking cavalry!
ReplyDeleteFabulous Dean, they're really give a sense of the hoard galloping over the plain.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking trays Dean I need something like that myself!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gentlemen. These trays solve the trouble of moving skirmishers quickly in a nice way. Although for certain rules, like WAB, they may need to come of the tray for close combat match ups - unless your opponent is okay with the as is. Best, Dean
ReplyDeleteAnother great looking unit Dean!

Thanks, Christopher. I see your AWI project growing too.
DeleteThose are convenient bases, you've done them up nicely.
ReplyDeleteThanks, James. Looks like we'll be missing your company at another Enfilade!
DeleteNice work on the trays Dean...like the way you staggered the horsemen
ReplyDeleteThanks, Richard! Appreciate the visit and kind words. Dean
DeleteSuperb finish on the bases and they bring the units together nicely.
