A quick post with a unit of French Gendarmes freshly finished and based.
The models are from Wargames Foundry. They are on a 100mm by 60mm base. Five Foundry cavalry on a base is a little bit of a squeeze. Hence the staggered alignment of the figures. However, they do better represent heavy armoured cavalry that use weight of impact to rollover their opponents. The "weight" here is both metaphorical and literal.
I have another five Foundry Gendarmes on the table. The horse flesh is already painted. I just have to move on to the more interesting livery of the caparisons and men. However, I have had some miniatures that have jumped ahead in the queue. More on this in a future post.
Thanks for your time with me.
They are superb Richard, very colourful
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely top notch. Beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteSuper work, Richard! These fellas are inspirational. I have ten sitting out on my workbench on which I need to begin work. I base mine five cavalry to a base too but I use Impetvs stand basing of 120mm x 60mm.
ReplyDeleteGreat work and the staggered basing highlights the figures even better in my opinion. Great choice of colours too.
