Last of the 20mm cavalry .. for now

In my current flurry of painting I have focussed on completing several boxes of 20mm WW1 cavalry. I am planning ahead to 2026 and the 25th anniversary of Great War Spearhead, and have in mind some epic eastern front cavalry battles. Digging through the plastic and lead pile, I first found three unpainted late war German dragoons.

And then I found some B&B Miniatures Great War Indian cavalry and infantry left over from the initial painting bout. Now I'm not sure when that first batch was painted, but the remaining figures were still in their original postal packaging, and the envelope was postmarked 2005 .. whew...



There were three infantry left over. These days I typically put 2 x 20mm infantry figures on a base, but that would have left one figure left over.. hmm.. a three figure base it is.

That's it. However the next projects are already apparent:  20mm Serbians for Great War Spearhead, and Swedes and Russians in 15mm for Great Northern War played using the Volley and Bayonet rules.
