Rholoxani Heavy Cavalry

Finally the Rhoxolani heavy shock cavalry are done, Hurrah! Well one unit at least.

These models are Old glory I think. The Pendraken ones that came in the army deal are very small compared to the infantry from the deal. The Pendraken ones looked like, in the words of my misses, 'children on ponies' scale wise. So I got these instead. The pack contained 30 horsemen of two different models. To make things easy on the tabletop I seperated them and use only one type for each unit. I have done a small conversion to create the draco bearer, just cutting away the original kontos and replacing it with the draco from a foot command model. I think it looks alright and makes the unit look much better than with out.
The paint job was very much the same as the infantry. These models do however have a lot of armour and the boltgun metal paint over a bone undercoat then finished with a brown ink doesn't look great so I used a little black ink over the top and it looks fine. Now that they are based i'm quite happy with the way they've turned out. They add a cutting edge to the list that wasn't there before.
Next up will be 2 units of infantry, one is already under way, then some more cavalry, either some skirmishing cavalry or the other unit of heavy cavalry, oh, and another command base, propably a cavalry one.
