More Tatars

After my brief diversion to the Far East, it’s back to the slightly nearer East with just about the last of the Tatars that I need as allies for my Zaporogian Cossack army. All that’s left on the Tatar section of the painting table are three command figures to use as a General should I want to field them in two brigades rather than one.

These are very nice figures but I’m still not convinced by the plastic horse, metal rider combination: I think it would work better the other way around. I will, however, save my final opinion until after I’ve used them a couple of times: the proof being in the (presumably left-over Xmas) pudding.
