Many thanks Richard.
I need to buy one of those WOTR boxes of mounted light cavalry for kitbashing.
The horses look the best.

One more question please. Did you ever tried to mix perry horses with mounted fireforge figures and if so do they mix well?

They work well together!

That´s the oposite.

IIRC, the general consensus is that the Perry Horses are thinner than the Fireforge horses, so the FF riders would fit on the Perry horses but would need some sort of filler.

Yeah, the FF riders look like they are riding a rail on Perry horses, plus the stirrups end on open air. Perhaps with careful bending, or cutting the riders at the waist.

Yes, I generally put Perry horse heads onto FF horse bodies if I want a caparisoned horse. Otherwise I just use Perry horses. They are an altogether better quality. Although actually, the FF unbarded horse bodies are really very nice - it's just the grinning skull horse heads I don't like.

In terms of the riders, as mentioned by the others:
1. Perry figure can sit on a FF horse, but you need to carve away the high saddle or the rider won't fit (like the example shown just above). You can always build up a new saddle afterwards from Green Stuff. You also need to carve away a little of the side skirts to get a Perry rider to sit down properly on a FF mount.
2. I haven't actually tried FF figures on a Perry mount. But yes, you'd expect them to be a bit loose...

DeeZee / Primeval wolves, Paul. You can see the whole pack in my Cave Wars thread / gallery
They just happen to double up nicely for Stark dire wolves.

Thanks, Richard.
They certainly do.
I like them and it is certainly good to know where they are from for future use.

Richard, Dbsubashi , Digitarii, GS, many thanks for the tips and explanations.

I will try both ways as soon as i get my hands on some perry horses.

Captain, I just wanted to say that the blueish greyish black on your Starks is just amazing. Rich and somehow bright while still being black. Just wow.

You've soon got yourself a nice Dragon/Lion Rampant Stark army. I really like that group photo.
