These horses are salvaged from an old cavalry regiment I have decided to renovate; they are from A&A. They are a little tubby, but I love the elaborate harnesses. Strictly speaking, they are middle Imperial Roman horses, but I won't tell if you won't! They are going to become the cavalry components of the two Praetorian cohorts I have planned for my EIR Army.
I will be using riders from Black Tree Design. I have most of the riders I need, but have had to order the command minis from BTD themselves, who are far from being the speediest supplier of miniatures, gulp... this could considerably delay the unit.
I have renovated the bases, too. It is very odd to see a nicely-based unit with no riders!

The bases look great. I love the feeling of a meadow with the little flowers. It's something I might have to try!
Hi Consul, the Silflor "weeds" are very nice. I am now mixing 6 or so different types of static grass on each base. Different colours, different lengths. I've not used flowers but is is only a mater of time.
Fantastic! I love the elaborate harnesses too! With the correct riders on them nobody will even know they're slightly off period. It gives them a unique look.
Well done on the bases and the brush work.
Wow - those are beautifully done. The base is first-rate too - the weeds/flowers and the decorations on the harness go well together. Riders will make the piece so much better. Dean
The harnesses were very tedious to paint! I think they will make the unit look very high-end, though.
Well, the Praetorians are special, so they deserve special harnesses. :)
if you want black tree miniatures at time you have to plan at least half year in advance or ask them, what they are able to ship.
BTD = Bl00min' tardy delivery!
