Why the waffle-edged bases though? I'm not critical, just curious.

Pointy cornered bases are soooooo last century.

Although the Gateway cavalry's land speed record seems to have stood the test of time pretty well. :evilgrin:

Just a quick update - I'm just staying with the outlaws at the moment on a trip back home to combine with Partizan. I was trying to be low key and not have too many parcels arrive there for collection and found my 2 dwarfed by the 5 parcels my wife had arranged to be sent there!

Not knowing exactly what I'm planning to buy i decided to see what the Warlord plastic cavalry sets were like. I have some from Empress, Bicorne and First Corps and bought a box of Warlord thinking that I'll need lots of cavalry - using these to make a good few units is probably a good way of bulking out the collection while keeping down the cost

I finished basing these the day before leaving NZ

While they're not particularly fantastic or inspiring figures they're decent enough I think - a consideration when you're attempting to build both sides and its not the only project!

They're very nice. Budget-priced or not, I can't see why they wouldn't shine on any wargames' table.

Rumour has it he's chartered a C-5 Galaxy for the homeward journey!

Very nice looking cavalry, I would really like to do ECW but I have to force myself not to buy any figures.
Thanks for sharing the eye candy for my ECW fix.
