The Eighty Years War
Dutch cuirassiers
At last the Dutch receive cavalry! Warlord Games lets you arm them with swords, pistols or hammers. I’ve used a combination of all these since cuirassiers made use of all three these weapons.
I painted them in black armour as was customary. They were sometimes called “Schwarze Reiter” in German, meaning “Black Riders”.
Flags of War doesn’t have any Dutch cavalry flags, so I took one of their infantry flags and cut it to the right size and shape for a cavalry flag.
I've added a new type of basingmaterial te create a forest-in-autumn-look.
Great work! The autumn basing works really well.
Thank you!
