I struggled with the zorse but an reasonably happy with the way its come out.

I'm working on some of his Bloody Mummers to go with him.

Ooh, the guy we all love to hate!  :D

You've done a cracking job on him, sir, the zorse is outstanding en all the details are right. Excellent work!

Looking forward to the rest of the band...

Very nice! I really like the zorse, not a carbon copy of a zebra which makes it look very good! Who's next?

Hi,

Thank you.

I used a Front Rank WotR Holibar for the basic figure, with green stuff goatee. The helmet is a GW beastman banner top.

I've got about 20 Front Rank medievals that I am painting up to be Hoats infantry and I've have some better equipped WotR stuff for some Lannisters (including a mounted nobleman that I am am thinking about turning into Jaime).

I'd like to get The Brotherhood without Banners for one of my other factions - once again using FR figures.

I like you're treatment of the zorse. Don't worry about the coat - there are many subspecies - even a 2 tone variant and I've read the zebra was originally mostly black with white stripes not the other way round. This is why I intend to do the same with my version based on Crawshay's...
