The cavalry figures offer a lot of different possibities as far as weapons go, though the original catalogue generally specified weapon and whether the horse was barded or not. There was also an oddity as far as the horses go...
 |
MEC1 Lance, crested helmet, barded horse.
|
 |
MEC2 Knight plain basinet with banner, unbarded horse
|
 |
MEC3 Battle axe, closed plumed basinet unbarded horse
 | MEC4 Mace, crested helmet, unbarded horse
|
|
 |
MEC5 Squire open basinet carrying forked banner (Knight Bachelor) barded horse
|
 |
MEC6 Knight horned helm with barded horse
|
 |
MEC7 Knight crested basinet with barded horse
|
 |
MEC9 Man at Arms spear and shield
|
 |
MEC10 Mounted crossbowman
|
 |
| Banners |
 |
MEC1H Barded horse
|
 |
CC2H. Which should be a Carthaginian horse - quite simply, the Carthaginian horse was converted but the number under the base wasn't changed! Should cause confusion if anyone tries to id one of these!
|
 |
MEC5H - Same horse as CC2 though base has been changed to the 'correct' number!
|
 |
| MEC6H |
 |
| MEC7H |
 |
GC1H Another example of a conversion where the number on the base hasn't been changed. A lot of Garrison horses were based on other horses - makes sense, no point in creating completly new masters every time!
|
 |
MEC9H. Note these horses are just the masters I have - the mould book lists different horses for each figure. However - mould R103 lists 10 each of horses MEC4H, MEC5H, MEC6H, MEC7H,MEC3H, MEC9H and MEC10H. I seriously doubt any mould could hold 70 figures...
|
 |
Again, I have got a new master mould of these.

Shhhhh! The warhorses in the cupboard are starting to get restless!
ReplyDeleteYes, a case of letting sleeping horses lie.
