Jinetes

Jinetes

This is my first light cavalry unit for the collection. The figures are all from The Assault Group, most are from the Jinetes pack and the command are from the Mounted Conquistadors packs, I have already shown these in a previous post. I really like the figures.
Although plenty of manufacturers have started making figures for the Italian Wars I think the light cavalry is still really neglected. No one makes good mounted arquebusiers or crossbowmen that look spot on for the 1510's and 1520's although there are a few good late medieval mounted crossbowmen that could pass muster. Foundry have just released some Italian Light Cavalry, but its a real shame they are not that great. From what I have seen not a single figure is wearing riding boots!
