Victrix Greek Light Cavalry

Here are two units of 6 figures each for Elephants Rampant - a local version of Lion Rampant which I've yet to playtest, but shouldn't be took drastic of a change from the core rules. I like these rules because of the low number of figures needed - no more than 6 for cavalry units, and at most 12 for foot units. These particular cav units are broken down into one with earlier hoplon/aspis shields and the other one with later spindle-type shields. All shields have LBMS transfers.

Spare helmeted heads from the Samnite set are used for the some of figures in the earlier unit. They could both be Tarantine cavalry, and all are armed with javelins.

The horses were speed painted using spray paint for the basic colors and then given the Minwax stain treatment. The oval bases are from Litko and very nice for skirmish gaming, IMO.

Per the rules, these are classed as Yeomen with javelins - losing the bows and costing 1 less point per unit.

Another very nice plastic set from Victrix with a lot of head/helmet options and enough shields of each type for a 12-man unit. There is even a musician arm holding a trumpet/horn, which I chose not to use.

Again, the LBMS transfers were very easy to apply and gave no problems whatsoever.

I don't know when I'll get these guys on the gaming table, but they're ready to take on all comers. :)

Until then, I'll take a break from Ancients and start on some Napoleonics again. I just picked up a few sprues of Victrix British Flank Company figures which I hope to paint up as skirmishers. Thanks for stopping by and best wishes to you all!
