Now for some Hungarian just out of the varnish spray.
Most of figures are Miniart Burgundians and French with some Zvezda French knights.
Here is Ludwig II ahead of his household cavalry in that mad charge against the Ottoman center.
Take a good look at him cause he died some minutes later and may be the last time you see the young king.
In order to have balanced armies I'll make a group each time of Ottomans and Hungarians.
The flags are colour photocopies of the ones I showed you in part 6.
Hungarian cavalry is great and easy to paint (as all Gendarme cavalry type) :
- black spraying
- apply some dry brush steel colour
- and later aluminium colour. This will make the knights armatures shine and look cooler.
The Zvezda horses are quite short in height and look a bit silly with its horsemen on top. That is strange for probably the best plastic small scale figure manufacturer ever.
On the contrary Miniart horses are tall and slim but all this mixed together makes a pleasant sight.
Truly speaking the ones I would like to have are the DDS XVI century knights but these suckers have vanished from the market as no shop seems to have them on stock. I think it was Suleyman...
Very nice cavalry!
