Or should that be loonies? Anyway, I bought the men really cheaply at Carronade in Falkirk and then purchased the horses to go with them - overall, a quick way to put some cavalry together. |
The bags the guys were in were labelled "Gallic/German cavalry". I based them in the same style as my Romans and Seleucids. |
They saw their first outing last week at Claymore as Galatian cavalry, and performed reasonably well. |
Unlike the infantry, I tried stripes and checks on this lot. I think they came out okay, even though it's my first attempt. |
To finish off, here's a close-up of nutters in action. I'm quite pleased with the final result. |
very colourful unit! I love Gauls
ReplyDeleteThanks! I like Gauls too, but I'm trying to resist putting together enough to make an army - they're a lot of work. Having said that, this lot made a refreshing change from Roman uniforms.
ReplyDeleteThey are a lot of work but when finished and painted well like this lot they look great. 27 of them...that´s one lot of work!! They look excellent.
ReplyDeleteCheers

a great looking unit, waiting to run down some hapless romans!
ReplyDeleteThanks again; hmmm, "hapless Romans", my favourite kind...
ReplyDeleteGreat looking unit Paul well done again!
ReplyDeleteThat's a fantastic looking unit. Wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of a bunch of them.
ReplyDeleteCheers, guys, I wasn't intending to do these but when a bargain appeared it kind of made sense. I don't have enough for a Celtic army, but these plus the foot I already have would do as a mercenary contingent.
