Here are some photos of my extended and re-based Gallic horse. These are, strictly, part of my Gallic army as seen at Salute in April, but they weren't needed for the Mancetter battle. Shaun McTague very kindly painted a dozen more for me, which I mixed in with the 36 I already had, to give me a generous total of 48. Each unit now consists of a whopping 16 miniatures. This gives me a broadly similar representational scale between my infantry and cavalry units. I'm gradually adding extra cavalry to bring my other armies up to the same standard.
Almost all of the minis are Wargames Foundry. I took the opportunity to "tart up" the existing figures and re-based onto my 20cm grid-half bases, which fit together to make a unit 19cm wide by 13cm deep for the 20cm grid. The photos don't do them justice. :-(
These are half the heavy cavalry that I require for my 2020 To the Strongest! Salute game. The other half will be "Romanised" Gallic horse- semi-uniformed types, proto auxiliaries, in fact.
I've been basing a lot of other great stuff- I hope to post some more photos, next week!

What’s this, my 55 Gallic cavalry actually outnumber a part of a Simon horde - surely not, say it ain’t so Joe. ๐
Sumptuously!
Not for long, Tim! :-)
What an awesome sight!
Beautiful!
Thanks chaps. I'm really looking forward to doing the rest; Gallic cavalry "with a twist."
I am not looking, it is too tempting...
Fantastic looking cavalry!
Best Iain
