Everything looks fantastic. These are certainly warbands to be proud of.

Aside from myself, I've rarely seen anyone mount their Irish WL and Curaidh. I added this option to my Irish warband in anticipation of the Adepticon Age of Vikings tournament in 2022. I ended up using the mounted option in all 3 games, and won each game. So don't let anyone convince you its not a viable choice.

Interesting, never even occured to me to make mounted Irish heroes. I did make javelin+mount versions for Scotti in Age of Invasions, which are very strong I found.

Mounted Irish leaders is something I encounter when playing one of the folks in our local group. They work quite well for him, so worth including in my collection.

Speaking of mounted troops, I also made some progress on my Age of Vikings Normans who had been in storage since first edition. William the Bastard, a mounted Warlord, and a unit of 6 mounted hearthguard. Plus a unit of mounted Crossbowmen for my Papal States force.

I finished the Pope Wagon - the Carroccio - for the Papal States. The base is 3D printed and allows for detachment of the front bulls to make the wagon legal in Age of Chivalry rules (120x60mm pill base versus 180x60cm with the crescent-shaped add-on base for the second set of bulls). 



In the spirit of finishing older minis, I also almost completed a Norman warband for Age of Vikings. I had those since 1st edition based on the plastic boxes from Conquest Games. Figures are showing their age, but at least they are done. I ordered a few more sprues to bring the mounted knights and warriors to 12 each.
