Kushite cavalry

 

First 18 figure Kushite heavy cavalry unit based on the Numidian cavalry. The gloss varnish on this lot aren't making for good photos! 

I chose to do a six base unit rather than a four base unit as this corresponds to my normal infantry or light cavalry basing structure. In retrospect, should always have done it this way...

There is a second unit undercoated and waiting in the queue.

I actually did seven  elements - including a general. The Pharaoh is a Greek cavalry figure with a Rose Prestige Range head. The cavalry are a simple paint conversion - rather than sand down the Roman shield pattern I just lathered several coats of paint over the shield!
