More Elmeti and Jinetes


Milanese Elmeti

To the start the year off, while I am recovering from a crushing hangover, I thought I would post some pictures I took over Christmas. They have come out rather dark as it rained constantly and I didn't get much natural light for them. The last set of figures I painted were the new Elmeti and Jinetes from The Assault Group. I already have regiments of these by TAG so I added these extra figures for more variety and I am pleased with the result.You may notice I have changed the sword for one of the Elmeti to an axe, I didn't want them all carrying swords. I have used some of Petes cloth flags to show them as a Milanese troop of horsemen.

 Below are a few snaps of the new Jinetes. They look great added to the figures I already have.

Finally I added the commander and standard from the Perry Light horsemen I converted to my Mounted Crossbowmen to see what they would look like riding under a Milanese banner. I don't think they necessarily need a standard I was just seeing how the figures fit together.

Up next should be The Assault Groups Mounted Arquebusiers, I have been waiting for suitable figures for these for years so I am keen to paint these up.

Happy New Year

  5. Looking very good! The role of the light cavalry in this era is too often overlooked or minimized.
