Finally finished painting my By Fire & Sword Transylvanians - testament to how long it takes me to paint, I got these from the second BF&S kickstarter and the parcel arrived in March I think!
Sitting in the sizeable box I received I also have a hundred or so Janissaries and rather more Muscovites, enough to complete the division I started when the BF&S English version was originally released at Salute in, 2013 (2012?) - it's a slow process...
Still, this is one of those rare occasions where I can actually show off some painting - if not my photography skills.
(Incidentally, if anyone can tell me how to do those photos where the background to the figures is blank rather than whatever they've been sitting on etc it would be much appreciated - I assume some sort of photo editing software?)
Enough provisos - on to the pictures!

You might note the horse-drummer on the command stand lacks drums and a drumstick. Perhaps he was in a rush on his way out :D
Somewhere in there is a three-legged horse too...

For someone who doesn't much like painting horses, I seem to paint a lot of cavalry-heavy armies. The pennants on one of the cavalry squadrons aren't based on anything in particular, I painted over some of the banners supplied as I rather liked the yellow-red flag supplied on one of the sheets and decided to spruce up some of the cavalry to go alongside. Let's assume they've only just set out on a raid and haven't had cause to start grumbling/getting wet & muddy yet! :D
