Once again crossposting here and the swashbuckling board.
More of Matthew Bickley's superb sculpts.
Introducing the Presidial cavalry garrisoned throughout Texas, California, New Mexico etc.
The traditional enemies of Zorro, or Texian rebels, or Commanches or Apaches or anybody else you care to mention.
The dashing Captain Alforno - in love with the Governors daughter..
Here he is mounted. (the horse is a WIP and needs mane, tail, tack etc.)
Sargento Garcia - His inept and overweight right hand man...
Sargento Garcia Mounted:
Troopers - drawn from the humblest, poorest peasants of both Mexican and Indian stock. Brave, hardened fighters, capable with lance, sword or Escopeta:
Each trooper has a mounted version, open handed ready to add a lance.
Comparison shot with an Artizan Alamo defender:
Finally a close up of Sargento Garcia:
Like all things I would have liked to have these ready for sale before Christmas along with Zorro, but it looks like it will be early in the new year, by the time they are cast,ther horses finished etc.
Matthew is about to start on my next pack- a group of Tejano or Mexican Vaqueros- wearing traditional riding dress, Serapes, ponchos, low crowned Sombreros etc, armed with a mixture of muskets, flintlock rifles,Escopetas and pistols. All will have mounted and dismounted versions.
They will be suitable as bandits, Texian cavalry, early Texas Rangers or enemies/allies of Zorro.
After that the evil Governor, his beautiful daughter and some American interlopers...
