My next order from Irregular arrive at the weekend comprising of 2 squadrons of Lancers and a gun, crew and limber/team . Spurred on I painted up the first of the Lancer units .
They are the Lancieri Di Novara , I've decided to go a bit more cavalry heavy with the Piedmontese force and as I haven't got any lancers in my Unification of Italy project they were an obvious choice . Just to make things a bit more interesting they had their shako covered with a 'yellow' waterproof cover . Irregular figures are not the most detailed but they do paint up quickly and at 'wargaming table distance' (about 3' ish) they look as good as any other manufacturer .
Beautiful lancers, nicely done!
ReplyDeleteLancers are one of my favourite cavalry types ! , Tony
DeleteGreat looking Sardinian lancers!
ReplyDeleteNot the typical Lancer uniform as well , Tony
DeleteVery fetching! Rather nice horse sculpts too.
ReplyDeleteSimple but effective models , Tony
DeleteSplendid looking fellows. Like the cap covers, gives them a business like look.
ReplyDeleteSort of small detail gamers grab at to make figures different , Tony
DeleteVery tasty. I've been casting covetous eyes at the Sardinians in the Crimea.
ReplyDeleteThose chaps would put a fellow to wondering.
Think they would do for the Crimea , don't think the uniform changed much,Tony
DeleteExcellent work, a fine combination of Kitchen and Kay.
