How close are your dismounted figures and mounts to your mounted figures? 00 – Each mounted/dismounted figure is the same person
10 – Each mounted/dismounted pair has the same uniform
20 – Each mounted/dismounted pair comes from the same army
30 – Dismounted figures are from the same period
XX – My figures will dismount when you pry the saddle from their cold, dead, groin I have a few ACW figures that are mounted/dismounted of the same personality. Generals and Colonels, most. And I have a few leader Japanese figures where they are both in cavalry armour with the same maedate and mempou. But most Japanese cavalry are replaced with a regular infantry figure of the same type. Same with Celts, Gauls, and Vikings. For the Old West, I have a couple of the same figure mounted and dismounted, but it's mostly you get a figure with the same weapon. Only one mounted female for Old West – Apache female. All my modern motorcycle gangs that have both versions have the same personality for both. So … 00 – A few select
10 – A few here
20 – Most of the case |

00 – Only my Foundry 7th Cavalry
10 – All others |

ALL my ACW cavalry are depicted as dismounted. Their horses were just a means of getting from here to there. |

Medieval and fantasy most humans are closely matched mounted and foot. At one time I spent a lot of effort in getting good matches. Non-humans are lucky if they are the same species if needed off their mount. ECW dragoons are correct period foot/mounted Any other period I can't remember at present x42 |

I've only recently started painting mounted/dismounted knights to match each other – before, it was a bunch of unrelated figures. |

00… Medieval, my ACW, my moderns, my Anglo Zulu War, Sci-Fi, VSF, Napoleonic's where needed… WWI and WWII when needed… If they didn't make them in both versions I converted my own… |

If I can get the matching dismounted figures then I paint them as close as I can to the mounted ones. Doesn't everyone do this? |

19th century colonial all. Middle Ages most. Even my Star War speeder bikes have both. However, my 2mm figures are used for operational map games and I only have mounted figures with no dismounted. |

My figures mount inside AFVs, so the miniatures themselves are only on the table when dismounted. I do have a few (as yet unpainted) grav bikes with riders, but I haven't found any corresponding dismounted figures. |
