Looking to add some cavalry to my Imperial Guard but don't want GW cavalry as I think they look naff :D .

Any ideas?

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.

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.

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.
