Tommy's War released a new figure depicting mounted British Lancer from WWI period.
TW32C04 – Trooper, 17th Lancers, Amiens 1918

This is the fourth in the very popular cavalry series from Tommy's War, a Trooper of the 17th Lancers.

This figure is set at the latter part of the war, viewing the battlefield ready for action. By 1918 cavalry were commonly used as infantry on the Western Front. The 17th Lancers had formed part of the defense of the Allied lines during the Spring Offensive, but by October had returned to their mounted role where they were able to exploit gains made as the tide of war turned to the Allies favor.

This new figure cast in light grey resin in 1/32 scale, sculpted by Nino Pizzichemi the box art is by Alex Long.

The kit is complete with photo etch bridle bits, brass tube for the lance and instructions.

While the figure is acceptable the horse is quite nice; on the other hand I'd be more interested if it were an ANZAC trooper.

They already do one. TW32C03 is Trooper, Australian Light Horse at Beersheba. Looking at the figure there's little that is specific to "Death or Glory boys" of the 17th Lancers so you could make him any Commonwealth cavalryman with a lance.

He's super pricey, but looks to be worth every penny.

It seems to be a nice figure but in side profile, the rider seems to be a bit too far to the rear of the animal's back creating quite a gap between the rider and the neck. Perhaps it is just the camera angle but if anyone actually rides horses or has equestrian knowledge, I would appreciate their informed opinion on the seating position? Gary
