Knights on Brown Horses

After fighting a number of WotR battles, all with foot sloggers, a mounted arm appears for a possible call up.  Some may say that it is about time.  I suppose it is.  Now, the challenge is getting a WotR battle back into the gaming queue.  That may still be a way off.  Still plenty of time to, perhaps, field another horse unit before action on that front resumes. 
Out from the painting desk is a nine-figure body of mounted knights.  Figures are plastic Perry Miniatures.  Sticking the figures together was not too arduous a task.  I might even push another unit into the assembly queue before too long.  Since I have yet to fight with any mounted troops, seeing how the rules handle cavalry will be an interesting exercise.
One item of note is that I assembled the horses and then primed them before affixing the armor.  That may have been a mistake.  In some places (and with some pieces) the fit did not manage the close tolerance I wanted.  Next time, I will try a different assembly and priming process to see of that improves the results.  Live, learn, and make mistakes along the way.

  1. They look great Jon! I generally find the Perry plastics are less wearisome to put together than many of their contemporaries...having said that, the Warlord Russians I have just completed weren't that bad either!
