To convert these to SF Desert Horsemen?
link Perhaps, to look a bit like this . . .

Or would I be better off adding robes and turbans to these guys (or other 15mm PA horsemen)?
Thoughts? Dan

Easier to mod the top ones, I think. Nothing a dremel, a small hole punch and some thin styrene for the goggles, and some green stuff can't handle. |

Body swap the khurasan stuff for rebels sahadeen. You might be able to tweek a few of the sahadeen skulpts to look good sitting on a horse. |

I think the top ones have a very nomadic feel to them, all you will need to do is give them some ultra tech or sci-fi looking weapons and they will look the part. |

Great figures for conversion : plastic rod for sights and grenade launchers.
Green stuff for masks,goggles,pouches,visors for horses etc.
20 years ago my oppo used 25mm Turag figures for scifi with only a paint job, nobody twigged at conventions that they were historical.
love the hmg in the range minimal conversion to a heavy pulse cannon etc. |

Rebel Sahadeen can be converted with a few snips to the base and file the feet, small cut to the crotch, ouch. Slight spread to legs, fit on a good mount… search my blog and youll see mine…Stepman3@ blogspot… |

definitely mod the top ones! Id love something like that for my Rusk'ies…sadly I have no chance with horses! |

Copy Von Trinkenessen idea and add some green stuff to make kneepads. Extra rolls and kit to the horses, maybe some fuel cans for water.

Clip a few of the rifles and make them more modern – You don't have to change a lot either. There are tons of stories of recovered weapons in Afghanistan being quite old. Swap out a couple rifles, A pair of goggles and perhaps a bit of modernist looking kit on the horse and it would be good to go. |

Peter Pig has just released Tuareg heads that would be perfect for converting figures into post-apocalyptic or desert planet dwellers: TMP link Dan |
