New from Alternative Armies!
Powdery snow crunched under the iron shod hooves of his horse, but he did not hear it. The rough and heavy iron over his chest rubbed and dug into the cloth underneath, but he did not feel it. Upon his head, a steel helmet topped with frozen, blood-soaked hair ground against his neck and forehead, but it was as if nothing were there to him. All that echoed in his mind was a series of commands which had been with him since the pain… a musket ball… had pieced his heart. They were fainter now and his eye sockets were empty, but he still saw the mortals ahead. He turned to the riders to his left and right, and like him, they leered back from bare-bone skulls. What had he been? It had mattered and now… now, it was a whisper. A rusted straightsword was in his hand and it was time to kill.
55517 – Spektrov Cuirassiers
Not encountered during the endless march towards Moskova by the Elves, these riders are the heavy hitters of the Undead cavalry; and for the deceased, they are of an excellent quality.
This code contains five different 28mm scale skeletal riders in armor with plume-topped helmets, as well as five resin horses. The riders are an officer with sword raised, a sergeant with sword forward (separate arm), standardbearer with bat-topped pole (separate top), musician with two kettle drums and arms raised, and trooper with sword at the ready.
Horses come with a separate saddle roll, plus one will have the kettle drums, too. Easy to assemble, and sculpted by Steve Young (riders) and Sam Croes (horse). You can choose from a pack of five, or a unit of ten, or a single trooper booster. There is a savings for the pack over the single, and the unit over the pack. You may also choose to purchase these miniatures painted and based, ready for play, from here in Scotland. These miniatures come supplied with our resin cartouche cavalry bases. Select your option on the page. £18.00 GBP (was £24.00 GBP) per pack of five
