Scibor Begin Sculpting for Polish Equestrian Warfare
February 17, 2014 by dracs
Scibor Monstrous are continuing with their 1:72 scale miniatures of the Polish forces of WWII. Currently they are working on riding out with the 1939 Polish Cavalry.
Now you may doubt the efficacy of cavalry in modern warfare, but you cannot deny that the sight of a a cavalry force waving ceremonial sabers is awe inspiring. And of course they make a great mobile scout force.
Often we are treated to horse sculpts that look like the sculptor has never seen one of the creatures before, but here Scibor seem to be doing a pretty good job. The horse's musculature stands out really well and they look very lifelike, apart from being green of course. It will be interesting to see these cavalry miniatures complete with their riders.
What have been your thoughts of Scibor's latest WWII minis?

Quite a few myths about the Polish cavalry – for the most part they were used as mobile infantry (certainly gave machine gun teams a fair bit of flexibility)… Mind you, in an age of tanks and long range aircraft the site of a Polish cavalry unit, formed up, lances in the air flying the red and white pennants of the Polish Republic must have been a hell of a site…
