I've completed the second base of Empress Miniatures' 17th Lancers for my Anglo-Zulu WAr project. Hope they find favour ~


The completed unit ~

Some of the nicest cavalry I've ever seen.  Great work.

They don't like it up 'em, Captain Mainwaring!  :o

Splendid stuff, I like the facial expression on the middle chap, with his open mouth and teeth showing. :)

Great to see them, I think this is the first time I've seen them painted. Nice painting too!

Did you encounter any conflicting info on the color of the horse's equipment?

Not really:Ospreys & Google all seemed to show brown leather, though all were indistinct around the saddle & sundry equipment area.
