Hey folks, I'm looking to build a unit or two of 28mm dwarf cavalry for Kings of War (and smaller scale skirmish gaming). Based on my research, dwarves can ride a whole lot of animals: pigs (Dwarf Wars), boars (Ghost Minis), bears (misc & sundry). Any that I'm missing? Any favorites for you? |

I have re-mounted a number of the Ghost riders on Essex steppe ponies. The look like one of those old Larry Elmore D&D covers for mounted dwarves. |

I distantly remember some body had them on mountian goats . they would ram during the charge . |

In the Dwarf Britianna line of miniatures, I have colonial Dwarfs riding on Ostrich link |

Dwarves on ponies from the old Hinchliff line as well. I feel that they sized out too big for 25mm, but for 28mm sizing they would look more like dwarves. I have a few boxes that I've never touched from the late '70s. One of these days

I seem to remember a fig that was a dwarf on a bear
But for the life of me, I cannot find it now.

Fantastic suggestions, everyone! |

I'm sure someone used to do dwarf bison riders? I think this was a barbarian. I have the figure. A little plain by today's standards. If it is the one I'm thinking (Grenadier?), he was a human riding a bison. Another bison was Scotia Grendel does a Pict riding a bison. Fancy model. |

Westwind had lots of cavalry in Dwarf Wars range – goats, pigs, rams, wolves and horses. link I have some goats, nice models, however they're s bit bigger than typical 28 mm. link link |

Old Glory has dwarves on ostriches – not sure the manufacturer. |

Grenadier made the dwarves on bears. If you go to Mirliton I belive they have them. |

Dwarves on mounts? There is something unnatural, something not quite right about that. It's like a Luxembourger navy or a Jamaican bobsledding team

Huscarle, Ral Partha (IWM) has a Bison rider, but it's just a small 25mm man. |
Noldor42 | 17 Jul 2013 8:26 p.m. PST |
The Lance & Laser Hussar is my favorite as well
I've been looking for at least 2 more for years
