Elf cavalry conversion for Oathmark
« on: 06 November 2020, 09:48:21 PM »
Hello there,

I know, there was the similar topic here: https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=121887.15
In fact, I have almost the same solution... But LAF suggested, that I should start a new one, because the other one is not active. So here it is.
The source of the problem, that I found no cheap elven cavalry for our Oathmark games, so I had make something homebrew. At the end, I united the spare parts from Northstars Oathmark elf light infantry, with a box of Gripping Beasts Goth elite cavalry. Here are some sample results:

And here a longer description, and more pictures about it:

Those are very nice. That goth elite cavalry set is excellent for fantasy conversions imo.

Thanks! Yes, the scale armor on the horses is perfect for many fantasy cavalry.

These really look great, the fully barded horses certainly look high elvish to me!  I'm looking forward to seeing them painted.

So far I have not ventured into assembling Oathmark units for which Northstar does not have any models yet. Great to see that you are making a start - I might later on nick a few of your excellent ideas!  :)

They look great. I like your thoughts regarding the scales of the horses' armour shining in the sunlight.

Thanks to all of You!

Me too... I have not a lot of time to paint, so my painting progress is very slow.

Wow, that is very creative.

I look forward to seeing them painted (I would not like to face them on the table ^__^).

btw: where did you manage to get the cavalry bases without slots?

Right now I only manage to find slotted cavalry bases from German vendors.
