And yet another regiment, Ells
Same style and just as impressive. I just imagined this iron wave rolling on in its attack. Frightening
That’s realism
Great work

More fine work.

As you might by now expect, I do have a couple of comments/queries, not that these should detract from the quality of your work at all:

1: Would Swedish cuirassiers ever have carried a lance? I doubt it, since by the time of the Swedish intervention I suspect that the lance, for heavy cavalry, would have disappeared from the battlefield.

2: Swedish cuirassiers per se were somewhat few and far between, and a slightly less well-armoured cavalryman (still with an open helmet/'lobster pot', back and breast plates, perhaps some metal arm armour) would probably be more representative?

3: Which regimental/unit standard is the blue flag with the 'iron hand'?

Will be interesting to see your Finnish 'Light' cavalry, when these arrive.....

Great stuff again! I can't even begin to imagine the amount of hours spent painting your TYW armies...

Wonderfull painted cavalry unit!
