1st 2 Quar cavalry
« on: August 10, 2008, 11:29:22 AM »
Quar Cavalry WIP

Here are the 1st 2 of my Quar cavalry unit. I based the uniforms on a light French cavalry unit picture that I saw from WWI. French blue coats with white piping and red pants.
When painting that Cadier (horse type creature) I wanted to do something a bit different (seeing that Zombiesmith went with a very strange looking beastie). I started with various shades of red then added some striping (based loosely on some African animals) the stripping was done with chocolate brown, ivory and a white highlight. They still need a few touch ups and to be dull coated.
I also have not chosen a unit yet so I have not added a flag, but something to continue my Royalist contingent will be in the works.
4 more to paint, along with all the rest, then I am picking up a second set and making a lancer unit. Hope you like them, more to follow…

Those are indeed the first Quar (Or any ZombieSmith product) to invade Malta!

This is only because the Quar are not especially good swimmers, nor have they been allowed to join the Knights of St. John.

Hurrah, it's official  :D :D

PeteMurray, you're correct - in fact the Quar only managed to get here when the cavalry arrived as the steeds are excellent swimmers.
By the way, the detail on these chaps is grand  8) :-*

At least there should be no language barrier. Gibberish-speakers all understand each other, right?  :)

One miniature is too many, and a thousand are not enough...
