Equites

 

These are the last troops I need to muster for our Ad Castores game; an Ala of 24 cavalry, and 6 Praetorian bodyguard cavalry.  They were all painted by Dr. Simon's mystery painter mate, but I have highlighted the horses and wlll also be highlighting the shields, then staining, varnishing, basing and flocking.  I only have another 5 or 6 sessions before the game... gulp.

Wonderful, the shield work looks particularly impressive.

Yes, no way I could paint free-hand like that! I find they look better still with some overpainting in a lighter tone.

Nicely painted, love the purple used!

Thanks! That Purple is a problem: GW have discontinued it, so I shall have to try to blend a suitable highlight...
