A few odd items I finished up
this week…
(Remember: click on the pictures
for a bigger version):
Great War German pioneers with
flamethrowers from Renegade
Miniatures.
A German Dragoon from Wargames
Foundry and a French Dragoon bugler from Great
War Miniatures.
They seem fairly comparable... French horse might be a bit taller... German rider might be a tad fatter...

French Buglers Great
War Miniatures on the left, Renegade
Miniatures on the right.
From the side it's a bit more clear that the Renegade horsies are considerably larger.

Finally a French Foreign Legion officer from Artizan Designs.
Not Great War, per se… (but could probably be passed off as such).
Coming soon on Tim’s Miniature Wargaming Blog:
All sorts of Great War Cavalry
on the Workbench, along with a slew of WW2 Soviets (some of which I’ve actually
been working on), and a handful of modern stuff…
Actually in terms of Great War
Cavalry there is the rest of the unit of German Dragoons that are well under
way – horsies more or less finished. There is a unit of Indian cavalry men –
which are based and repaired and primed and ready to go. There is the rest of
the unit of French Dragoons – the officer and one dragoon are underway, the
rest require some repair and shortening of lances (so they will fit in my
storage boxes)… There’s a unit of Great War British on the way from England.
Maelstrom
Games is moving warehouses and had a warhouse clearance sale – 30%
off – so I picked up enough later war British to do a unit of Canadians – one
of those “wouldn’t it be nice to do someday” units…. Of course the day after I
ordered them Paul from Saber’s
Edge was having a little Online
Garage Sale of his personal never-going-to-get-painted lead pile… and
wouldn’t you know it – there’s some more Great War stuff – including the Old
Glory bag o’British Cavalry – which was also on the “wouldn’t it be nice to do
someday – if I ever needed a SECOND unit of late war Cavalry” list… Aye-yi-yi…
anyway, THEY’VE arrived and are based and primed and ready to go on the
workbench. So I have two units (of the three) for the Canvadian Cavalry
Brigade… Which shall I do them as? Lord Strathcona’s Horse? Royal Canadian
Dragoons? Fort Garry Horse?

Very nice work Tim. Got a bunch of WW1 cav to do myself. After looking at your guys I am tempted to get them out!
ReplyDeletePaint them as Canadian Light Horse and you can do the Battle of Iwuy - combined arms action with German tanks (beutepanzers plus A7V) and infantry vs Canadian cavalry, Brutinel's Motorised Machine Gun Brigade (Canadian armoured cars!) and of course bog-standard infantry and arty.
ReplyDeleteI need to paint more Atizan design miniatures. Just do not have enough of them and they paint up nicely. Well done on the one shown here.
