In a perfect world I would have my heavy cavalry on standing horses with shouldered swords. I'm not fussed about the leg positions of standing horses they can be all the same but I would prefer some variation in the horses' head positions. Light and medium cavalry for me can be a bit more animated, but not the full charge pose. I would also, in said perfect world, have them modeled in cavalry great coats for that desolate, chilled to the bone look. However, these are well sculpted and detailed figures that paint up very nicely and I am pleased with them

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Brilliant Gareth

Oh John, you will grow out of it as you get older and realise if you want to do X and only Y figure is available then just go with it. There are some casul looking cuirassiers in the Red Eagle 10mm range.

Proper flag in the background there. 








Oh, and some figures too. Well, they're also nice.

Is that right?  Well, I'm approaching 74 years old and have been wargaming for 55 of them.  I think I have made my mind up about what I prefer.  I also think that replies like yours run the risk of being mistaken for condescending superiority and have the potential to cause serious offence.  I am not offended though and assume you posted in haste without thinking it through

I agree completely.  Pendraken's figures are everything you say they are and you have certainly done them justice, as usual.  

[John Cook]

If you were really mad you could have two different bases per unit. One for movement one for charging/combat where they get the swords stuck in. Seems excessive though!

More than excessive.  That would indeed be the path to madness, and bankruptcy

My Franco_Prussian War project is moving on, all be it at a slow pace. I have almost completed the Prussian force (just some artillery batteries to go now) and am working on the 2nd and final French corps (23rd). These are the 2 btns of Fusilier Marins that form part of the 1st brigade of the 1st division in the above corps.

[Techno II]

Seconded !

Cheers - Phil

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Amazing Gareth, really great work.

[Gareth121]

Thanks mate. I think the completion of the project is in sight. Which is just as well as I am beginning to imagine what the next one will be!!!!

[Ray Rivers]

Nice!

General Derojja, commander of the 1st Division of the 22nd Corps


This is a test to see if the picture link works

Edit - no it didn't  I'll be back later! 

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Sorry no piccies

[Leman]

I like the little splodges of snow on the previous page, but as Ian says no picture of Gen. Derroja.

[Gareth121]

Next attempt - General Derojja take 2



Ahh that looks better

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

No doubt some one will do it for you, but you need to add a size parameter into the tag, No I don't know how !

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

That is excellent Gareth.
