Proxies for Rohan Royal Guard
« on: February 08, 2022, 10:09:56 PM »
Hey folks,

GW's Rohan Royal Guard are currently unavailable (these guys: https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Rohan-Royal-Guard-on-Foot), and I was hoping to build n paint a few for a friend's game in the next few weeks.

As I'm sure most folks know, they're a bit on the small-size, scale-wise (like 25mm-ish).  Does anyone have any recommendations for foot soldiers that might proxy well and look good alongside a small force of Rohan Royal folks (i.e., slightly up-armored Rohirrim)?  Or the same soldiers, on horseback?   I'm in the US, so local options would be excellent, if they exist!

There aren't any newer posts on here about this - just wondering if anyone here has explored GW-scaled, Royal Guard Rohirrim made by other manufacturers (that aren't GW...)

Thanks all!

Several options on Etsy Foot and mounted variants:

http://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1162569669/kingsguard-cavalry

Plus others.

These look really nice, pretty much exactly what I'm looking for, but I can't seem to find a US seller...

Thanks for the options, folks.  I'll find something I'm sure!

The Forgeworld Dunlending horsemen look like they would work okay as Rohan Royal Guard

I believe those Horse Lords are Medbury Miniatures files and Two Idiots Printing sells them in the US: link.
