I do hate painting horses... Another 100 Sioux clear the paint table.
These were a real a grind, but two colours a night and over 2 weeks they are finished and game table ready.
Great castings from Baccus, on closer inspection this bag of Sioux have less War Bonnets and has more native warriors. when blended with the first purchase now gives me a good mix with the existing painted horsemen.
Looking over the requirements of the original Pony Wars rules, I am still another 300 warriors short, but for the Sharp Practice variant I am hoping another 10 groups will be enough, this latest batch also have an additional 5 big men to help shepherd the war parties.
The entire warband rides out to war....
A Coy 3rd Cavalry may have bitten off more than they can chew.
A couple of odds and ends to complete but finally nearing the end of this project.
Great looking Sioux warband Stu...I would think painting horses in this scale is not as irritating as their 28mm equivalents!
ReplyDeleteYou are right but they still are still a faff and every force I seem to do involves far to much horse ;-)

Wow, very impressive Sioux army, well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil.
DeleteWell done on grinding it out and I too hate painting horses!
ReplyDeleteOn to something that little basic Steve for a while.

Fantastic - the small scale and the numbers give such a grand scope.
ReplyDeleteVery good painting! Bravo!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the size of your bases?
:-)
I am using Flames of War Small and Medium bases - these are MDF from Warbases in the uk.
DeleteI have a copy but have been using a modified version of sharp practice in 6mm which is giving us the right feel. Regards Stuart
