Great War Cavalry - Canadian LH added 2 September 12

[tim in saskatoon]

I've been working on a few units of Great War Cavalry lately...


British


French

I have some mounted Australian Light Horse on the workbench. Here are some dismounted ones I did a few weeks back:

[Calimero]

Really nice work

[carlos marighela]

Lovely brushwork Tim.

It's a great pity Brigade Games never completed the range with suitable dismounted light horse. The ones in their range are all wearing infantry equipment. The only decent one out there are Ian Mountain sculpts and alas they are tiny in comparison to the Brigade and Copplestone figures I have.

Lovely work Tim, well done.

Cheers,

Helen

[Marine0846]

Great looking figures.
Really like the French horse.

[tim in saskatoon]

Thanks all!

Here are the Australian Lighthorsemen I alluded to:

[Ray Rivers]

Great group of miniatures!

Particular like the Aussies and especially the MG team.

[Mason]

Very nice, indeed!

[tim in saskatoon]

Thanks guys! They were fun to paint, and i have another unit of the ALH to do, but I think it's time to work on some more infantry!

[Rob Herrick]

Those French are absolutely gorgeous. Do they have suitable dismounts?

[tim in saskatoon]

Those French are absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks!

Do they have suitable dismounts?

Not that I'm aware of.

Continuing with some more Great War Cavalry...



Some German Hussars!

(figures from Wargames Foundry)

A few more sample figures I painted up... remainder of unit to follow!



Wargames Foundry German Dragoon, Great War Miniatures French Dragoon.



Same chaps, different angle. They seem fairly comparable to me.



The Great War Miniatures French Dragoon and a Renegade French Chasseurs a Cheval I painted earlier.



The Renegade horses are noticeably larger. Not that that would stop me from using them in the same army/game... perhaps not within the same unit, though...

[Helen]

Nice work Tim on the Dragoons.

Cheers,

Helen

[tim in saskatoon]

Thanks Helen!

Here's a few more:



These are Old Glory late war British that I am using as Canadian Light Horse.



How is one to know they are Canadian Light Horse, you might be wondering...?



That clever little coloured patch on their shoulder straps - barely visible on a few of the figures...

Up next...?

Brigade Games Indians, perhpaps?



That, or the German Dragoons...

After I finish up those units (and maybe the GWM French Dragoons) I'll post some comparison of the different manufacturers.
