Finally finished up these small units of 8 figures each. Had slight bug the last few days which had me mostly in bed. Nothing serious, but stayed in bed a couple days resting. Anyway, these are supposed be the Prussian Regiment No. 3 Dragoons in light blue litewka, Russian St. Petersburg and Kargopol Dragoons in pink and orange facings, respectively; Russian Tchougoulev Uhlans; and Prussian Silesian Landwehr Uhlans.
Based a few as singles for possible skirmish games.
Although 12 (or more) figure cavalry units do look more impressive, I've used 8 figure units in the past well enough.
Since I plan on trying out Valour and Fortitude, more units should work better for the game.
No sooner was I finishing up these figures, the long-awaited Perry order of Prussian infantry finally arrived. It was indeed mailed out on December 12th, but only arrived on January 7th. So, the Prussian Reserve units can finally be completed with their commands - and then on to two Prussian Line units. Hope you all are doing well - although there's been a lot of serious stuff going on these past few week, not the least those devastating fires in Southern California.
Fantastic Dragoons and Uhlans Dean, really impressive!
ReplyDeleteSuperb paint work as always, Dean - I really love your crisp, tidy style - all the details really pop out at the viewer - and 8 figure cavalry units seem fine to me; as long as all players involved base the same way, it doesn't matter if its 4 6 8 10 or 12 figures - or more, if you are a megalomaniac with more money than sense!
