Title: Looking for new "not" Old West figure -- mounted with sword
Post by: Schogun on 16 October 2020, 01:30:55 PM
Within the last few weeks I saw a new figure mounted on a charging horse brandishing a sword. He wasn't Old West -- actually I believe he's for a fantasy game I can't recall (I thought it might be Oathmark but I can't find it) -- but he's wearing a wide brim hat and a duster.

He could be an interesting figure for Old West games.

Anyone recall this guy?

Thanks

Could it be this Black Scorpion mini?

Hi Nick --

No, that's not him, but he's cool. The one I'm thinking of is on a charging horse with the rider leaning forward.

Thanks

@Black Burt --

Nope. Not that one either.

I'm pretty sure I saw it on the Beasts of War/On Tabletop site. I was surprised it was for a fantasy game. I haven't seen it elsewhere.

I searched BoW for "horseman", "horse", "sword", and "Oathmark" with no luck.

Could it be a figure in one of Khmorg threads… he does quite a few ACW figures in greatcoat (which look a lot like later period duster);

You can rule out Oathmark, there are no human cavalry models for that game released or previewed.

Possibly Malifaux?

Mounted Guard

None of the above. The Perry one in the middle is the closest.

I may give up the search -- you guys have come up with a lot of good alternatives!

Thanks

Calimero for the win!

Although it's certainly not as dynamic as I remembered. Short-term memory going...

Thanks to all!

You can always find another horse, and reposition the arm.  :)

This was fantastic!  I'm glad I checked in.  I hope that there will be  other threads like this in the future.

Herman, how are you?  Are you no longer on Facebook?

You know what a stickler I am for accurate horse/horse furniture Chuck.....  Where are the stirrups for the rider? 

Also, I don't know if you saw the mini-series "Texas Rising" (a fairly forgettable series about the Texas Revolution), but this figure looks like the character played by Ray Liotta.
