Welcome to my strange alternative world of wargaming with toy soldiers: a game for boys from twelve years of age to one hundred and fifty and for that more intelligent sort of girl who likes boys' games and books (HG Wells, Little wars)

Review - HaT 28 mm El Cid Almoravid Heavy Cavalry
I have painted up a few more of my HaT El Cid hard plastic 28mm models: the Almoravid Heavy Cavalry.
The only problem is that the thin plastic spears are a bit brittle. Otherwise these are nice models. They are from the same sculpts as the 1/72 figs so have the same style and look.
They are to-scale models (I suspect 1/56) rather than chunky wargaming 28mm size models but the difference is not great. Above is one of the models placed alongside a Deus Vult medieval cavalryman. In my opinion the two will mix fine but then I am liberal on such matters.
Nicely painted HaT cavalry, John. The comparison shot shows they aren't too out of scale with 28mm; particularly so as FireForge is on the bulkier side - at least their horses anyway.
ReplyDeleteI think wargamers should really consider these HaT models. They are the only plastic El Cid miniatures available and are superb value for money.
