Chaos knight horses sizes ?

[modelwarrior]

Has anybody stuck the old metal Chaos knights on the newer plastic horses ? Just wondering as new plastic horses and riders look a lot bigger ? I dont want my metal kinights looking like munckins

They will.

Even though the aesthetics are similar, the old metal ones are both a bit too static to match the more dynamic plastic horses and also too small. Not much, but it's distinctly noticeable. Especially as the legs are not far enough apart to properly fit onto the sadle area and require some cutting on the horse and bending of the knight legs to fit.

It can be done, but expect some work. Also, they will look slightly out of place next to plastic knights, but will look fine as a unit of their own.

I've used the plastic horses throughout my WoC army, to keep a unified look (cavalry, characters, chariots etc), and used the metal knights for variety. I just never field them next to the palstic ones

I wonder if The Assault Groups horses would be a better fit for older metal chaos knights?

If they are proper oldhammer ones then it is possible.

Ok thanks for the advice. I have a mixture of old metal knights and horses but prefered the new plastic horses so I will borrow a plastic horse off a mate and see what is required to convert and if it looks the part ?

On looking at the Chaos horses I think the 2010 model(on the left) is the easy model to convert as it just requires a bit of sanding in the saddle area. The newer model with the large shield on the right would require some major surgery
