Blue horsemen


Here are some minis I bought on eBay a while back, and retouched and rebased. They are a somewhat generic troop of Late c.17th horse, that I'll later expand to a full unit. I'm not sure what I'll use them for, exactly, perhaps militia; I've not come across a regiment that is recorded as having worn uniforms in these colours. They are a tough-looking bunch! Front Rank Minis, of course.

Good buy Simon, they may be generic but would fit most armies of the period given the correct standard.

Thanks- I've left the standard unglued, towards just such an end!

Nice figures Simon. I'm sure there were a couple of blue cuffed red French Horse regts force period?
