You did a great job converting and painting those riders... Might I ask how you painted the armour? Did you just drybrush it with a metallic colour? Because it looks great!  :-*

Thanks. I did a step by step build and paint thread on Steve Dean's forum which shows how I do it - including the armour...
Hope that's useful

My thanks to Michael, the brilliant Admiral Benbow, for showing me the way with chopping these horses in half and sticking them back together to make entirely different combos  :D

Bloody hell!
That is one fantastic, dynamic pose that you have pulled off there!
Full of motion.

Great paint job too, obviously, but that horse is amazing!
One of the best equine PJ's I have ever seen.

Stunning!

Yep, I hate to say it, but I think you have nailed it with this one. The pose is spot on, the movement of the horse is perfect. :)

I agree. I have always admired your treatment of horseflesh, but something about this one surpasses even your usual high standard.

Richard, that's absolutely brilliant - the pose and the colours! It's an honour that I could push your creativ genius in another direction. And I will of course copy that horse ...  ;D
