Karelian Cavalry Regiment

The second cavalry unit for the Swedes is the Karelian regiment, which I chose for its grey coats.
Another fine Swedish unit
Showing of the hand-painted standard
The standard is based on the one from the Hoglund book - two arms holding swords and a crown in the centre.
To make sure the Swedes have someone to give directions, I painted up a general too:
General Vakta (apparently that is Swedish for guard, which is as close to the meaning of my last name as I can get).
And from the other side
I have determined that this week I will get both Russian cavalry regiments, artillery for both sides and a unit of dismounted Dragoons for both sides finished. This will give me enough to play some One Hour Wargames scenarios. Next week I'll start on Geoff's Koreans.

    1. Thanks Rodger. I do feel a bit machine like at the moment, but I'm in the painting mode at the moment, which is great.

  3. Lovely work, Nate. I always enjoyed doing standards - you get the chance to do those flags no-one else produces! Great stuff!

    1. Thanks Sid. I agree about standards but I have to admit that it is much easier for 28mm figures!

  4. Very fine results! I especially like the general and his white steed. He looks quite the dandy.

    1. Thanks Jonathan. He is very much a dandy, but soon we will see whether he is a fighter as well!
