About Me

My photo
London, United Kingdom, United Kingdom
A mythical beast - a female wargamer! I got back into wargaming in the summer of 2011 after a very, very long break and haven't looked back since. I must admit that I seem to be more of a painter/collector than a gamer, but do hope to correct that at some point in the near future. My gaming interests span the ages, from the "Biblical" era all the way through to the far future. I enjoy games of all sizes, from a handful of figures up to major battles (see my megalomaniacally sized Choson Korean and Russian Seven Years War armies).

Finished: 15mm Ming Chinese Medium Cavalry

And they're done. These are the three bases of medium cavalry I need for my Ming allied contingent for ADLG and will be the first bases of three 4-base units for FoGR - I'll be painting up the other 3 bases for each unit at some point in the future.

That's enough introductory waffle though, on with the pics!









I might go back over the hats and boots with matt varnish (or maybe a mix of matt and satin) as they look a bit too shiny to me.

Apart from one bay, the horses are all duns. I decided to go with that horse colour as the Chinese horses would have been descended from Mongol stock.

    I agree about the shine on the hats, they will look even better when you have matted them as planned!

    Great looking stuff. I plan on stealing your ideas when I expand my own collection to the Ming.

    @ Geordie - cheers! :)

    @ Dannoc - they are rather colourful, aren't they? :)

    @ Herkybird - the more I look at them the more I think they should be matt. Glad to see you agree :)

    @ Stu - thanks! :)

    @ Dartfrog - cheers! Feel free to pinch them - I look forward to seeing how you take them in 28mm :)
