A great collection of impressively painted miniatures.
One advice though:
You should give at least some of your horses white socks and white spots between eyes and nostrils.
Some horses have different colors around the nostrils also.
That's something you can easily apply even after sealing the minis.

But even without these additions, this army is exceedingly well done.

My compliments!

Cheers guys!

Good advice GS, put it down to laziness on my part! :) I have some additional cavalry to paint up, so i'll try to remember to include it on those.

Thanks again

Some fantastic work there making for a stunning army!


....put it down to laziness on my part! :)

I couldn't possibly call you lazy having painted up all that lovely lead.

The casualty markers are wonderful, especially the chap being put out of his misery.

Who makes the casualty figures? I don't recognize them, and they're rather good.

Off the top of my head, Gripping beast, Black tree design, Crusader miniatures, Old Glory, Perry miniatures (I think).
I may be missing a manufacturer in there, I accumulated them over the last five years, so you'll have to forgive my already poor memory! There's at least one conversion among them though, admittedly, casualties are one of my favorite figure types to paint!

I recently purchased some more of Gripping beasts 'early Saxon killers and casualties'(beautifully sculpted miniatures that will paint up a treat) packs which I intend to incorporate into future units, so at least they will count towards the unit numbers!  :)

Hope this helps Mitch

Chris
