Another unique unit for the time period, these are the Armored Cavalry with 3 barreled Rocket-Launchers from Perry Miniatures
They come as two piece castings with the horse and rider together, and only the rocket launcher arms separate. I painted them up in the same color schemes as my most recent horse archers, with the intent of having them serve the role of allied Ming cavalry as well.
These are the last of the available cavalry miniatures, which puts me one step closer to completion of the project (or at least the on-hand figures.)
Very unusual weapon. How does the rider light a rocket on a long pole when riding on horseback? That took skill, I bet!
ReplyDeleteThe timing would need to be perfect I suppose.
DeleteVery unique; strikes me as someone's idea of a "secret weapon"; might work well by surprising the enemy the *first* time!
ReplyDeleteI want to know how many riders were thrown by their horses the first time this thing went off.
