lol well those rough riders do look... rough! to be honestly I had a quick look online, nothing extensive, and haven't found much worthwhile. forgeworld do some ok looking rough riders but they are death korps and so would require a bit of conversion to get them to be cadians for example. otherwise kit bashing with something from fantasy may be the way to go? if you need them I have got 4 or so elf steeds from the chariot set which I made to a lion chariot, and I have 4 chaos steeds where the chariot was made into gorebeast. rich |

Forgeworld are overpriced for what you get, I'm starting to think that Napoleonic lancers and Cadian heads may be the way forward. The cuirass can easily be pained up as a flak vest. |

yeah they are. the only thing that worries me is the difference between heroic and true scale models which may mean the cavalry doesn't 'fit' |

Hmmm, hadn't factored in scale creep. Any of the fantasy cavalry suitable for putting Cadian top halves on? Looking at the cost involved High Elf cavalry + cadian box set = £38 Valkyrie = £41 Might move that way instead. Edited by colinsb, Mar 13 2013, 12:21 PM.

They do look like Reiksguard horses and legs, that is certainly an idea. Just seen this as a suggestion for "mounts" for IG cavalry ![]() What do you think of Segway Mounted Imperial Guard? |

True, just looking at alternatives. I'm not overly good at "cut and shunt" on models. |
