Third Unit of Cavalry for the Romans - Praetorians

Here is the third unit of this first batch of cavalry I painted for my roman army. These guys are Hat Industries' Praetorian Cavalry, which are pretty close scuplts to those of the auxiliaries, except for the hexagonal shields and helmet crests.

I'm not entirely happy with the size of these units. 12 models seems pretty weak on the table, so I'll be getting another kit of auxiliary cavalry and splitting it into my existing units, so that both end up with with 18 models, which is my standard for medium sized units of horses.

The praetorians I may leave as they are, as it seems natural that such elite units come in small numbers, although I'll probably be fielding them as just another unit of auxilia for most games, rather than praetorians per si.

I'll also be painting a unit of Numidians, and after that I'll call it a day in regards to roman cavalry. It'll be time to move on to auxiliary infantry.
