Shining some light into Darkest Africa
Kanuri Cavalry finished
These are the Kanuri cavalry. They are the local notables who have gathered to support their emir and hopefully share some plunder without any significant risk.
I didn’t paint these so I tweaked the colour scheme, fixed the horse colouring (never enough white on legs!) and then added some LBMS shield transfers and flag. I didn’t fix the lack of filling on some horses but as a unit it will still look fine at a wargaming distance.
I really didn’t like the multi-coloured scheme that had been used. Probably more historically correct that what I’ve finished with but I prefer some consistency of colour, it just looks better as a unit on the table.
Do you agree? Here are the development shots I took where I got rid of most of the warmer colours (purple, pink, red and orange) and replaced with white and a few extra blue pieces.
Having worked with that plastic kit in my own work, I think those came out great. Its not difficult to get through with blocking colors but the cohesion really gets thrown off without a giving them a color connection. Using those colors instead of a more flamboyant or garish theme really helps to tie them to your other units.
Thank you. I’m glad you think that it helps to connect them to the other units. The overall look of an army is very important to me and this one is shaping up nicely.
I think you’ve made the right decision for the colours. They are still bright and not too samey whilst looking like a cohesive unit. Lovely work
Thank you. I am now having to make a decision about the other cavalry unit and hope I can get some other colours in so that when I do the knights their lurid scheme has some echos elsewhere. Hopefully it all ties in.
