Yesterday saw the completion of the first of three Paraguayan line cavalry units.
There is a good variety of figures for the Paraguayan troopers with a command set of three figures and then three separate sets - couched lance, lance upright and then lance sort of in between - and each set has three different figures. This combined with three different horse types means that no one figure is repeated in the unit.
The bright red coats really make these guys pop. The other regiments may be given a little more variety with the occasional white shirt and different coloured trousers.
The bright red shirts with white trousers and webbing make these troopers pop, no doubt.
ReplyDelete...and there is another bunch of these red shirted boys on the painting table now. They should roll out early next week.
DeleteLovely work again Mark. It won't be long now before you'll be putting on a game, surely?
ReplyDeleteIt will be a while yet before they get to the table. I probably have enough infantry for a bit of a scrap, and the cavalry will be ready about the end of November, but I have no guns yet,and worst of all no commanders. I am hoping that there will be some late year releases.
DeleteGreat looking units for the tabletop.
ReplyDeleteThanks...they WILL make it to the tabletop one day!
DeleteWow, they look splendid! I'm glad that a manufacturer has given so many options as stated to allow for a complete mix of poses in one unit. More grease to their elbow I say. As always the painting lovely and as Jonathan has said, the unit really 'pops':)
ReplyDeleteRed with shot trousers always stands out...better than the dull blue of the other armies.
DeleteOk, don’t know how autocorrect made that change, but that should have started...”Red shirt with white trousers...”
DeleteMore nice work Mark...this rather obscure war certainly has plenty of troop variety to hold the interest!
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith...one day you will see them in the flesh...or is that in the metal?
DeleteLovely, colourful cavalry! Splendid looking Lancers!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain...I think I would be a bit wary of those trident type lances!
DeleteThose are lovely Mark, such a good range of figures...
ReplyDeleteCheers
