Royal Swedish Cavalry Guard - Lund 1676

Finished the first unit of my Lund 1676 project, using the Warfare Miniatures range. Tried a few new things, like giving the ground a frozen finish. The miniatures were a treat to paint. More pics and unit background on the blog.

Lovely!

Even for Swedes :wink: :D

And the bases are looking very good too!

Lovely figures - lots of life and movement.

I would be interested to hear how you created the 'frozen' effect ? Just a very light drybrush ?

From what I can see, the horses are very well done.

Thanks for the kind words everyone, and a tip of the hat to Barry for some excellent minis.

P.S: A Special thanks to my Salute 2012 friend, Stephen "Janner's Jaunt" for helping me get in contact with one of Sweden's best wargaming clubs. The main reason this Scanian War collection is on it's way at all. Thanks, hope to see you (and the cool samurais) again in London come April, or at DefCon in Copenhagen in the fall. Cheers!

Sorry Sören, no chance of a Salute this year. Although I will be in Hamburg next weekend for Tactica :)
