Warlord Games Pike & Shotte Battalia Cavalry

 Here they are painted up as a unit each of Parliamentarians in orange sashes and Royalists in red sashes.

The horses are very nicely sculpted in halves which can be mixed and matched for variety. I used two can of brown spray paint to speed up the process. Tails, manes and horse furniture were then painted and finally given a Minwax stain. It's the only way I paint up quantities of cavalry.

As with the foot figures, helmets or hats are added to the riders' heads. One thing with these are the nasals and face guards on the helmets. Once glued on the heads, about the only thing I could do was use a thin brush to dab flesh color on portions of the face between the face guards.

Otherwise, very nice figures and enjoyable to paint up.

I may add flags to the poles, but the sashes should identify which side the units are with.

I really like this range from Warlord Games - nice figures that aren't too hard to paint. I may add a few more foot and cavalry later; Scots Covenanters in gray coats and blue bonnets sounds appealing - and Cuirassiers as well. However, if I do, I'll need to get another can of Minwax as the one I bought last year is just about out. Thank you all very much for stopping by and wishing you all the best!
