Help! I need some characters on horses figs...
« on: January 20, 2011, 02:42:17 PM »
I need some figs for an upcoming game...

A female elf on horseback w/ bow.
I have seen Reapers, and that is not quite it....

Also...

A gnome in armour on horseback.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

its not really an elf but it could easily pass for one....

only real issue is converting the sword on her back to a bow.

its not the best option but its an idea :)

I assume you want something in 28mm scale?

What about GW's Arwen on horseback, with a weapon swap for the bow? She's an elf afterall, and a weapon swap is easy - plus the GW LOTR figs aren't chunk.. er, 'Heroic' like their other models.

You can buy a single plastic GW Wood Elf Glade Rider from this guy on eBay here:

If he can't provide a female torso and head from stock for you, I'm sure I have some extra ones lying around that you can have.

Thunderbolt Mountain also makes an excellent mounted female Elf figure, although you would need to attach a bow and quiver to her saddlebow:

She's listed at 30mm, but fairly slight for all that.
