Hordes of the things unicorns

[HereWego]

Hey guys. It's good to be back.

I found this nice modells at my local supermarket: horses. 10 for 5€. Made of plastic, but who cares. I had always the idea of using unicorns, but there are no miniatures which fit for me, But those did.



Modelling the horn...



after base coating...



... and painted,





... and for comparison:

All PFB is hilarious. =)

Also... nice army, ga... nah.  

Did you consider painting the horns golden, to make them stand out a little more?

[Bergil]

I was against it at first, but they look just fine painted up!

[Hammers]

Creative, that...

[Vermis]

Nicely done of course, but I'm surprised nothing within the wargaming mini trade suited your purpose!

I was against it at first, but they look just fine painted up!

I was with Bergil, seeing the source, but agree: A great end result!
 

Now I need to find some cheap plastc cows suitable for 28mm on this side of the pond....

Those are sweet! Now I'm off to the dollar store find my own. Thingin a huge Horde of these!

Our entire yak herd came from a bin of plastic toys. The clerk at the store was perplexed as to why 2 adults were so excited and  having her comb through the boxes in the back.

Lovely work! Those models have lots of life and motion; I can see why you liked them.

For some reason or other I had thought of Unicorns as solitary creatures...one of the reasons for their extinction.
At any rate, the Herd looks WONDERFUL...some SPLENDID modeling,painting, & basing are involved here. Thinking outside of the box as far as models is concerned is a real plus with moi. WELL & IMAGINATIVELY DONE!

Nice one. Reminds of the film 'Legend'. With a very young Tom Cruise.
