Who would have thought you would ever have seen these figures in 28mm! Wonderful
-
They're for Abyssinia!!!
Thanks Lou ;)

They're for Abyssinia!!!
Thanks Lou ;)
No mounted in Abyssinia, I think; Palestine, Trans-Jordan and Syria, with the regular forces deployed there during the Arab Revolt and with the war-formed 1st Cavalry Division. The units also included the last of the unmechanised regular cavalry, the Household Cavalry Composite Regiment, the Royal Dragoons, and the Scots Greys.
-
According to his own Facebook posts, Michael Perry sculpted the Yeomanry cavalry with the Syrian campaign in mind.
-
yes, but i reminded him that there was this Irakian affair ...
we need arab legion, now ;)
-
I have had the Syria campaign in mind ever since I read England's Last War Against France by Colin Smith but have been putting it off because i I never through I would be so well supplied with figures. Having seen these I can no longer hold back. My mind is made up- 2016 is WW2 in Syria- look out you Frenchies!

in Abyssinia, there were at least a Free French Moroccan Spahi squadron, the european NCO's and spahis wearing british uniforms ... according to Thierry Moné, Spahis historian ( and former commanding officer of the 1st Spahis ) :
but with wolesley helmet ...
They performed the last cavalry charge of the french army ...
The Moroccan spahis are in the pipeline too ... they will be usable on both side for Syria ...
BTW, when i saw the Yeomanry minis in Topee, they reminded me of "The Lives of a Bengal Lancer" with Gary Cooper ... a movie i saw many times on the french TV in the 60's ... yes, i'm quite old ;)
-
Pardon my Anglo-centricity!
-
Lou,
The Moroccan spahis are in the pipeline too ... they will be usable on both side for Syria ... I assume mounted?
-
i need them mounted and dismounted , as in Syria, part of the Free French ones were motorized, and the Vichy ones fought dismounted .... ;)
-
They are some of the nicest figures I have seen from a 28mm manufacturer. I wish I was going down that path but have decided on the Abyssinnia conflict instead. My KAR are underway, mostly BH with some Perry DRs to fill the platoon.
-
The problem with Perry figures is their size, they are not really compatible with other ranges of taller figures like Artizan or Copplestone.....
-
i agree on the size, but they are producing complete ranges ... I'm fed up to buy some nice minis who stay on a shelve because the sculptor never produced more than 3 references ...
only 2 manufacturers produce quite complete ranges for the moment : Warlord and Perry ...
I'm still waiting for support weapons for the Gorgon Studio Narvik range, i'm still waiting for the support weapons of the Artizan Goumiers and so on ...
so i prefer a range not really compatible with others, but complete; than parts of ranges ( often the same models ) from a lot of manufacturers ...
-
Agreed on the range, but I had already invested in other ranges when I saw these. I went to buy some odd bits to fill out the range and was gutted when I saw the size.......
-
Well, these have got my attention. With a wee bit of conversion work we have Yeomanry for Palestine 1917-18 and NZMR for the same period... all in shirt sleeve order! SOLD! However..... I wonder why these chaps do not carry waterbottles ..... Indian pattern sun helmets are a godsend!
-
Love the figures.
Now have to figure out what I want to use them for.
Of course that has never been a problem before. ;)
If nothing else I can add them to my lead pile. lol
-
Picture of the Warwickshire Yeomanry Syria 1941
Cannot see any water bottles ...only joking ;)
Last War Against France by Colin Smith is certainly worth a read for the campaigns in both Syria and Madagascar
-
They're for Abyssinia!!!
....or they're for the Isle of Wight...beautiful looking figures with lots of VBCW potential...was trying to keep my shopping list short this year - looks like that has just gone out the window...how long until they arrive ?
-
the mounted ones are here :

a pack of the dismounted ones will be released in a couple of weeks ...
-
Thankyou lou passejaire....dismounted as well...new project ahoy
-
I think they could pull off being used as Philippine Scouts...
-
These are great.
Must find a way to shoehorn them in......

Me too.
::)
And if they are a little small they can be cadets for whichever force gets the nod.

I was thinking the same thing... I'm at a loss for trying to convert other cav models to US WW2 Cav.

Fantastic as always
