Wonderful work Nick. I've only just watched the movie to understand this genre.

All the best,

 :o Whooo! I discovered this thread just now. What a wonderful setting and great conversions. Being a fan of highwayman gaming myself I find this highly inspiring. I might need to add some scarecrow robbers to my own gangs as well. Very cool! Looking forward to seeing this develop further.

I'd never heard of Dr Syn, the Scarecrow before, and more surprisingly never come across this excellent thread before today. This is absolutely wonderful, I can't wait to see some game reports.

Yep, I too just stumbled upon it and very glad I did. I have been struggling with how to do the horses in my Dr. Syn HOTT army and after seeing yours - problem solved. Love the way you did them!

I get the impression you are using the movie and TV show as your basis, while I am trying to go by the books, so my marsh Riders will be different from yours. In the book they are of two types, Demons and Witches, so I'll have an element of each. They are also described as wearing torn and ragged ladies dresses in a variety of colors, so I'll try and create that look. Then some have pointy witches caps and others due to the face paint a more skull like appearance.

One thing I am changing from my original plan is the appearance of the fine folk of Dymchurch. Knowing their trade, I was going for a more pirate look, but a friend who lives in Dymchurch said - "Oh no, you'd never want the revenuers to associate you with the sea, so best to have them look like city folk and farmers". Good point!

I'm even going to have an element of the famous Marsh sheep of the area, along with their Shepard.

Anyway, really enjoyed seeing your efforts and the great idea for the horses!

Hi Terry,

Yes the Disney show and also the Hammer film have been my inspiration for the look.
When I started the project I only had the first Dr Dyn book and I don’t recall much of a description for the marsh riders and their look. So I went with what I thought would work.
I’m glad you like the horses, I’m very happy with the results. I have two more on the go ‘Cats eyes’  and ‘Beelzebub’ who are mentioned in the books.
