Spanish cavalry

Painted miniatures! Al last! The first cavalry unit in this project and the first cavalry I’ve painted in… ten years? Must be about that long ago when I was painting my Bretonians.

This is another release from Warlord Games from last year. Warlord Games calls them “Gendarmes”. The flag is from Flags of War.

Few things beat a good, well, painted cavalry force. I swear it’s a “dying art.” And once again, kudos for covering a conflict that doesn’t get a lot of attention.

A lot of times I see complaints: “You know ‘x’ country was involved in this too, why don’t you guys produce content on ‘y’ conflict, why isn’t MY country represented in ‘z’ war?”

My default answer is always, “That sounds great. Let me know when you roll out that content.” 😀

I hope more people follow your example. 😀

Thanks!

Painting horses takes surprisingly much time. Even when using an airbrush and a basic “colour scheme”. I’ve got three more cavalry units on my workbench and enough miniatures for a fourth one. If I can find the courage I’ld like to be take horse painting a step further in the future. It would be great to paint a horse looking like this: https://images.app.goo.gl/dJ3Sby2fZgiXNxUy6

But first: more infantry!
