Awhile ago I saw on Dads Army that they had used a Panto Cow as an observation sentry and wanted one for my unit . I ran out of time before the demo game that we put on at a show last year so never did it .
Now Foundry have a Panto Horse I again really wanted one so decided to build it while I am on leave .

While looking at the full sized photos I noticed how rough it was looking so may have to use some filler after priming it .
Also there is a GW Genestealer which I converted to an Alien . Now only another 23 or maybe 31 to go depending on how many sets I can pick up cheaply.

Currently more cone head than alien, lose the eyes and create a dome on the front and the effect is very alienesque.

A hand & sword swap from a Conquest native American (Woodland Indian B pack) to a Crusader French SYW infantry officer, who will be commanding my French-Canadian-Indian force.  The woodland indian had come without a musket whereas I like mine to be fully armed, with the mucket being modded from a Warlord ECW firelock courtesy of fellow LAFer aircav.



I wanted more woodland indians but in shirts rather than barechested and so 'scalped' these Conquest Delaware (a mix from packs A and B, the rest of which will be converted to French Canadian milicien).  Additiional musket as above.

Thanks for the very kind comments.   :D  To be fair to Conquest, the glory is theirs, I just tweaked them for my purposes.   ;)

Well done SI. You just gave me the urge to do something similar. I'm thinking I could put Indian heads on a lot of Conquest's marines also.
