Aren't those Foundry figures fun to paint? |

Fantastic. The one great lack that these splendid Foundry range has is its lack of other armoured horses. I advice you to get a pack of Perry Gensdarmes and use the armoured horses – or just the armour within – to create some different mounts. Larger units prefer a LOT from just two or three variations instead of one version. Otherwise Phillius stated it :-) |

Thanks for the tip about the perry ones. So the foundy riders fit perry horses? So use perry for metal armor and the foundry ones for colorful barding? |
| Stuart M | 03 Oct 2015 3:50 a.m. PST |
Yep, I've done this, you can chop the Perry barding in the plastic MAA box and add a bit of green stuff like this;
With a bit of filing of the saddle and some above mentioned sculpting you can also create a good looking gendarme with foundry rider and Perry horse;
Hope that helps Stuart |

Intresting! How much and complicated putty work are we talking about, I'm horrible with putty work. |
| Stuart M | 03 Oct 2015 5:11 a.m. PST |
For these two I used putty to create the round boss and the strapping, other than that it was just a bit of careful cutting and filing of the plastic horse armour. |

Ah well those look great! |

Unlike many other combinations, the Foundry and Perry rider and mounts do work with each other (probably because even the metals were originally Perry sculpts.
BTW: The WotR armoured horse of Founry also works for the odd outdated armour. |
goes to sea with the Terrain Mat.
