Thanks chaps.
I have to agree with Volleyfire I'm afraid. The Fireforge horses' hindquarters, bodies and legs are actually very good. But the chests are too barrel-like. the necks are too sinewy, and the heads themselves are way too pointy and bony looking. More like skulls than heads. Bit of a shame really, because these figures really don't look too bad overall, and they are growing on me. But the horses' heads...  ::)

With a very fine pointed brush, just keep touching in the opposite colour until you end up wiuth the outline you want  :)

I can't see a lot wrong with that horse

Err In fact I don't think I can see anything wrong with that horse!

It's a Fireforge horse, so has a slightly peculiar looking chest / neck / head. Had I thought about it from the outset, I would have replaced all the Fireforge horse heads with spare Perry horse heads.
Still. it's done now. I'm just being picky...  ::)

It's only a tad pigeon chested, nothing some exercise wont put right  ;)

Lovely work as always  :D

Thanks Karl.

Sir Gascon du Frottez, of the Holy Military Order of Arimathea, has a fine new courser...

This is a Fireforge horse, but with a Perry horse head on it. What a difference it makes...

Sir William Le Singe, my 6th feudal knight, now has a horse. Phew  ::)

This one is an 'all Fireforge' horse, so not that great I'm afraid. I really should have given all of them perry horse heads. Ah well, live and learn...

Sir William is riding down a peasant who will kindly be provided by Dr De'Ath or Malamute  :D
