Tarantine Horsemen

[ToneTW]

This is an updated unit of Tarantine cavalry based on a "finished" unit of Newline Designs 20mm Tarantine Cavalry code with their Greek light cavalry code. The Greek light cavalry are easily converted into Tarantines simply by adding a shield. In addition I added a spare Macedonian mounted musician and a few Maccabean light cavalry for some cloaked riders. Using a variety of shields and head swaps the unit now has a motley appearance.

I spent a bit more time introducing various coloured tunics into the painted and unpainted figures. Also with the shields, some hand painted designs, some waterslide transfers and some a hybrid. The hybrid ones used the bronze base and black dolphin designs which were simply painted over.

Beautiful painted horsemen. And the shields are really cool.

I agree with Jan

Wow! Fantastic visual effect! Amazing how simply adding a shield changed the figures. I used Newline Design Greek cavalrymen for my Athenian army, but I didn't recognize them.

They are a very pleasing sight, unless you're an enemy infantryman.

Very good looking cavalry unit.

Thank you chaps! I have been enjoying the challenge of painting shield designs but its good also to have help from transfers
