I'm looking to expand my human forces and want a mounted sorceress-type - someone that I can plonk on a horse. Or unicorn. Or dragon, I'm not fussed, still thinking it through. But someone to be a mounted spellcaster for my human army. Female, cavalry, robes not armour... that sort of thing.
Any suggestions or recommendations gratefully accepted, thanks!

i think if you can find some in GW/Citadel. i have a couple but at least 20 years old. Reaper might have one.
-
Thanks; I thought of Reaper, but they don't have anything suitable.
GW were the inspiration, the Lady of the Lake or whoever it's supposed to be from the old Bretonnian range, but I'm not sure what they do now, I'll take a look.

Black Tree Designs and yes I know the reputation though I have always had decent if sometimes slow service at times, have this one. My granddaughter wanter the figure mounted on a unicorn and I emailed BTD and the horse was replaced by a unicorn.

I am a big fan of this Gamezone miniature.

Sometimes you can find them really cheap, e.g. a shop discontinuing the line.

Games workshop do Arwen from Lord of the Rings as foot and mounted in one pack.

Thunderbolt Mountain (Tom Meier) has a few from the Arthurian mythos:

Oathmark has one, a nice simple design.
-
Thanks everyone. Some lovely minis there, some at very reasonable prices (like £3), some at ... 'Games Workshop' prices. I really love those Arwen minis, but I don't plan on taking out a second mortgage on my house just to buy 'Elf woman with sword foot and mounted'.
Ogrob, I think, has solved my problem, and also inadvertanly demonstrated that I am an idiot, for I am asking because I'm putting in an order to Northstar, for my Oathmark forces... and yet I had completely missed that Oathmark mini, which is pretty much what I wanted in the first place!

Oathmark has a mounted sorceress? I don’t think I’ve seen that model.
EDIT: Is this it? https://www.northstarfigures.com/prod.php?prod=15522

I reckon so, that's the one I assumed Ogrob meant.

Good lord, I thought Arwen was overpriced...
I checked out what the 'Prophetess of the Lady' (Warhammer, sorceress for Bretonnian army... something like a 30-year-old sculpt here) was from Games Workshop.
Arwen (based on a real person from a franchise, that GW paid for the rights for): £21.50
Fictional Bretonnian sorceress that GW invented and only paid the designer for (30+ years ago): £31.50
Anyone who wishes to express how outraged they are, can go to the GW thread that's been going for 15 years at least...
-
There's also a mounted sorceress in this pack from Foundry (via their Casting Room site, no idea why they split them out like this)

-
Somewhat disappointingly, the whole topic is moot. I was trying to buy a unicorn from Northstar to put my Sorceress on (in fact, I was trying to buy a Sorceress because I was buying a unicorn and needed a rider) but now I have been told that they don't have any unicorns.

Highland Miniatures (which does proper 'Oldhammer's has a few mounted ladies (snort) in their Gallia (not Bretonnia) range.
Can be found readily on Etsy from a variety of printers

Not sure if they are two-part or not, but worth a look.

Would think it would be pretty easy to convert any old horse to a unicorn. ;)
-
Well, it was a particular unicorn I was after.
The horse that the rider comes with has reins and a bridle. So I'd need a different horse, or I can get a unicorn from somewhere else. Or just give up on the idea of a unicorn-riding sorceress, and just have her on the horse she comes with.
