Ok, time to have a look at the cavalry situation.
I posted pictures of all the heavy cavalry together last September, back on page 6 of this same thread. Since then they have grown in number, so time for another group shot!
There are three heavy cavalry units, two of 16 and one of 18, plus various light cavalry, currently enough for two small units of 8.
This is just how it stands currently - I've got them to where I'm pretty happy with how they look in terms of posing and mix of different armour styles. There will be more sometime in the future, at which point no doubt they will be re-arranged with each new batch painted, but for now my attention is going to move elsewhere.
You'll recognise the flags from my last post.
This one features my 'green commander' from the previous post. As well as his personal banner, the unit's got a flag with his personal badge of a white swan, and several of them are in his green and white livery.
A shot of the first two units put together....
And all three units together! That's fifty horsemen.
And the same number, re-arranged into three ranks.
Then over to the light cavalry, which are currently arrayed in two small units. One features the aforementioned swan flag, the other the 'hawk's lure' flag of my 'red commander'. I've kept most of them free of livery coats for reasons of flexibility, and I prefer the multi-coloured look. There are a few in plain red which work well in the 'red unit', but I have plan sometime off in the future to add something to the plain red for another purpose....
Over the past few weeks I've been going back to all the old cavalry (the first ones I painted over a year ago), both re-doing the armour and re-varnishing them. I thought it would be a mammoth task, but in the end didn't take long, doing three every day. Was definitely worth it. I think if you go and look at some of the first pics I posted on this thread and compare the same models to how they look here, you'll agree they are vastly improved.
