The mounted versions of these dragoons are laden down with loot/provisions including rabbits, chickens, lanterns and bottles of liquid refreshment. I must admit that it took me a while to figure out just what exactly was hanging from the saddle but it is definitely worth trying to highlight these details.

Careful planning (or just a bit of forward thinking) is needed when fixing the mounted figures to their horses otherwise some will appear to be sticking their firearms right into their colleagues ear holes - never a good idea.

As with the
Scots Covenanter infantry I painted the majority with blue bonnets, complete with sprigs of heather and saffron shirts. As regular readers will know I'm a complete muppet and will not be surprised to know I forgot to take any photos of the Covenanter Saker I also painted for Warlord Games.
Real nice looking unit...painting and basing is excellent

ReplyDeleteVery nice painting!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the comments, as always, greatly appreciated.
ReplyDeleteFantastic! I didn't make my dragoons anything predatory / light-fingered enough.
ReplyDeleteLovely work once again! Full of character, and very fine colour choices. Great tip about the positioning of these guys when assembled as a unit. I am about to do some of the standard dragoons from Warlord, so that is very useful!
ReplyDeleteWonderful painting.
