The Astrakhanski Dragoons have now joined the Czar's army, completing the first cavalry brigade. These figures are from the marlburian range, rather than the true GNW figures, but they seem to sit together reasonably well.

Here they are mounted





And, yes, the standards really were that big. They're said to have been almost as big as the infantry colours. Must have been a nightmare in a strong wind.



And here they are dismounted.



When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

Lovely stuff. At this scale I wouldn't be able to tell GNW from Marlburian, probably not in 28mm either!

How do you historical boys do that "info on the base" thing? :-\
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

I don't think my wife likes me very much, when I had a heart attack she wrote for an ambulance.

If only I could do piping and trim like that...

Love the bases, too!  Especially the game stats;  they don't detract from the rest of the unit.  Cool!

Just a strip of printed paper, GG, overlaid with extra-clear sticky tape so that they can be written on with a spirit pen and then rubbed clean when the game's over.

And thank you, one and all, for your kind words.  :)
