Ostrogoth: Heavy, Medium and Light

Progress on the Ostrogoth cavalry has continued well enough for a rare midweek bonus post to be justified. As I wrote before the army will be based around the three different types of cavalry available to the Kingdoms of Men. Having already shown the scouts I have also now completed one Regiments worth of the Knights and Sergeants.

For the knights I used the Gripping Beast Goth Elite cavalry which uses the same bodies as the Noble Cavalry box but with armoured horses. The bonus of armoured horses is that you have less horse flesh to cover but it does mean you end up painting quite a large amount of armour.

Knights, Sergeants, Scouts

With the knights providing a good mobile hammer the sergeants can act either as chaff to make sure the knights get into combat or on the flanks. Being speed 9 and nimble means they should be adept at getting around the enemy and forcing them to to react or redeploy.

The sergeants are from the Noble cavalry box and as with the scouts these will all be based up in Troops to give flexibility when creating the army lists. They could also be mixed in with the scouts if I wanted to lean more heavily one way or the other when creating an army list.

The knights are being based as Regiments as I cannot see myself ever fielding a Troop and of course with still allows them to be joined together into a Horde.

So that's a fair few cavalry down and quite a lot more to go, but so far they have turned out rather nicely and should look better the more I get completed.
