Amazon heavy cavalry

My normal cavalry squadron is 12 figures. For this lot, I went for 18 figures so that it covered 6 bases.
 
For shield blazons I've continued the animal theme, in this case by using a stag.

The armour is just paint. It works really well.

I went for something different for the command element. The commander is MID3, Midianite Princess on camel. Standard bearer is simply SS62, slave girl with fan, with the base cut off and made to fit on a horse. And finally the defining feature of my Amazon army - a tiger.

  1. Superb looking unit, the paint job armour is very effective, works well and the command figures look great and tie in very well.

    1. It does. As well as increasing the number of possible uses for that figure.

    1. Yes, it is. Didn't even have to add card shoulder pieces!

    I think we used to call it a ‘ Paint Conversion’ back in the day…

    All the best. Aly

    1. As I recall some earlymanufacturers didn't include some details such as belts on the grounds that the paint would be roughly the same asthe scale thickness of the detail. Works for me.

  5. They look really good Rob. Nearly finished the latest batch of Amazonians I bought recently, they look great. The Amazon/ pegasus are really nice. Thanks again.
