Not bad for free stuff. Whilst the horses look rather detailed, the infantry and the horse riders look more like markers rather than 6mm scaled models. I feel you could go a lot crazier when it comes to details, poses, and variations.

The Horse is a improvisation from a open source pose because lacking skills for designing a proper Horse, only the equipment (holsters, sattle, bridle ect.) on them is his work.. On the printed MIniatures, you will see no traces about different detailing on Horse and Rider.
