Swedish Dragoon Workbench and Review

I did this post before I left for my cruise so posting now to keep you busy and will share some of the exciting other stuff I have over the next week or two.

Before I pass these on to the basing department I thought I might take the opportunity to photograph and review some of the figures from Warfare Miniatures new Swedish Cavalry individually.

Bit of a different approach  but I really like some of these as individual characters so wanted to photograph them singly before they are all based up as a unit which will lose some of that individual character.

So here they are above as a group as I varnish them.

Below is the officer. There are two different officers, I might do a second of these reviews with the other officer and the figures with shouldered sword.

The drummer is one of my favourite figures and is really full of character, cracking figure.

This cornet is really nice as well. lots of "GA PA" here, the horse is OK but my least favourite of the four.

The two packs of charging riders are excellent, I like all of them and as each comes with separate arms lots of room to create individual figures. The below rider is on another of the horses which is very nice indeed.

This figure is a favourite of mine, the right eye covered with a bandage which you cant see in this shot, I like this horse too and think this particular one came out really well.

Another aggressively posed rider from the charging pack.

This is the only figure for this unit using the older models, this is the original test figure for the Swedish horse, he fits in and fits the horses OK but his coat tails raise him up slightly and the sculpting is not quite as nice as the new ones.

This trooper is letting out a yell as he charges forward, very nice this one.

I really like this bareheaded rider.

Here they all are together, these will be Schlippenbachs Dargoons and make a very colourful show I think.

And here they are based up ready to pass to the basing department. I should have these back shortly to share with you.

Thanks for reading, more to follow.
