I knew that the Mongol's horses were mostly dun but had suspected that the Scythians probably had a wider variety of colours - you'll notice that the ones here are a good mix of bays, chestnuts and blacks with a grey for the general :)TamsinPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759947520907448060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-54114095631246320302018-03-04T15:49:55.831+00:002018-03-04T15:49:55.831+00:00You should have a look at the british museum blob ...You should have a look at the british museum blob horses-a-scythians-best-friend, list DNA analysis on scythian horses coat colours a lot more diverse than mongoloid ponies which surprised me.

They're Peleset [so that I can also use them as Philistines] :)<br /><br />@ Phil - cheers! :)<br /><br />@ Swelter - thanks! That makes two votes for Sea Peoples :)<br /><br />@ Dannoc - cheers! That's three votes for Sea Peoples :)<br /><br />@ Jerry - and that's one vote for 6mm ACW. I have already painted up quite a lot for that project, incuding some zouaves for both sides; the ones in the queue at the moment are some extra cavalry [mounted and dismounted] and artillery :)<br /><br />And with four votes cast, the Sea Peoples win out 3:1 :)TamsinPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759947520907448060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-54124503415290651162018-03-03T17:34:52.354+00:002018-03-03T17:34:52.354+00:00Swimming against the tide, I would encourage you t...Swimming against the tide, I would encourage you to do 6mm ACW. The reason for this is that with bigger battles stretching from Antietam to the end of the war you could easily field armies of several thousand figures. besides, you could do regiments of Zouaves, the 14th Brooklyn, and many varied color units from 1861 if you just wanted variety. <br />have a great time no matter what you choose to paint!CelticCurmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17687177512999052331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-37524471887393872882018-03-03T14:44:32.726+00:002018-03-03T14:44:32.726+00:00A nice but of colour on these cataphracts.
