First Recruits!....

 Here is the first recruits to my War in Canis project, finished ones that is!


Not quite finished as I am going for a gloss varnish finish with this project so they have to get a coat of that to fully finish them. 

 This unamed, as yet, hussars were painted by Alternative Armies and really well done they are too, very happy with them.  I have three 20 dog units with AA at the moment getting painted, red coats and different facings, one yellow, one green and a grenadier unit with dark blue facings, once I get them I will post them up here.

So this project is on the go, not too sure when I will call it finished, plenty to do and get done yet, so it is a good qay into the future for calling it done that;s for sure.

  1. Very strange - but very nice - figures Donnie! And on second thoughts, I guess they are no stranger than the Quar that everyone seems so enamoured of at the moment!

  2. Always good to have a long term project you can pick away at matey. Never seen these dogs before, new one on me. I presume they do infantry as well?

    1. They do the whole lot JBM, Dragoons, Curassier, infantry, grenadiers, lights and artillery, everything you need for an army!

  3. These look great. The AA hussars have a special place in my heart. I hope you gain as much enjoyment from this project as I have from mine. While I have plenty of figures for my table already, there are more on my painting list still to come. A project that will continue for some time still.

    1. They are rather nice Iain and they will certainly be of Germanic extraction, although one of the more obscure and little heard of states!
