I seem to do these every other year, so after having taken like an 11-month hiatus I might as well put my quarantine spare time to good use. I, Ilor, oath two Bashi Bazouks (28mm Corvus Belli)

Oath Complete!   Claiming A flying start for these winged drop troopers. This was the first time I'd tried micro-texturing fabric, and I like the way it turned out.

Oath complete! The whole crew:  A close-up of the horse holders. If/when the mounted troops dismount to fight on foot (as they usually did), this little vignette is used to mark the spot where they can remount:  A close-up of the command group (officer, standard bearer, musician). I haven't decided whether I want to do these guys as a particular regiment or just use a more generic flag, so no banner yet:  These are the completed mounted/dismounted versions of these guys. I started by finding matching weapons, then painted the pairs identically (boots, pants, coats, hats, even hair and beards). Confederates are always a pain to paint because getting them to look properly rag-tag involves lots of different paint colors and makes batch painting largely pointless. In the game for which these minis are intended, a base group of mounted infantry is 8 troopers, but when they dismount you lose two of them for horse-holders (see above). That's why there are only 6 little dudes on foot.  A close-up of one of the pairs:  Another pair:  I am claiming this month's theme of Hello, me! for the matching mounted and dismounted troopers. I am also claiming the Take one for the team achievement for painting a full group, as well as Get the Crystal for the horse-holder mount/dismount position marker.
