Mounted Militia, SC Horse, NY Royals Conversions

[kingsmt]

An expected package arrived from John Bryant, who is just amazing. If you stand still, he'll paint you.
I did all the conversion work and John did the painting
These are all Perry or Foundry bodies with KMM heads and various plastic and metal arms.
The horses are my own Ebob horses, that Bob converted for me.
I think that they look much better than what was previously available. Sleeker and faster!

Here's a group shot of my new additions to my mounted Second Spartans, who fought on horseback at Cowpens. At this point, I can field close to one for one ratio, as far as mounted figures go, for Cowpens.

Group shot:



Muskets and rifles. Ready to dismount and fire!
 

 

 


Charge!!!
 

 
Two shots of the SC Light Horse Mounted Militia.
I liked the color combination here. Came from a CMH plate. I think that  will bring this unit up to full 12 man strength. May as well fill it out.
 

 

 
NY Royal Dragoons.
I liked the color combo here, also. Something different from the norm. These too will be augmented and brought up to troop strength.
 

 
 

There was more in the box, but that's enough, for now.

I am absolutely fixated on mounted conversions at this time. Very much enjoying myself and looking forward to terraining them. I'll probably start that tomorrow.

Those conversions are great! I've never heard of the NY dragoons, but the uniform is very flashy.

Quite a few smaller mounted units ended up drafted into the British Legion. It was a composite Legion and mounted Dragoons were scooped up from smaller commands and made part of the BL.
