Knowing how much Martin enjoys the whacky cartoonish appearances of my old school elven steeds here are my 5 horse unit of old school glade riders. What to say, well they look a bit silly now beside the new ones which look considerably more realistic. I do kinda like the light armoured elves with their crested helms but these probably are a little civilised compared to the new more feral approach which I think I prefer. The paint job on the horses is ok. Obviously my attempt to dapple them wasn’t very effective, they really need a white glaze over the top to blend the spots into the grey but at the time that was a bit beyond me, possibly still is. I remember having a few goes and making a bit of a mess.
You know what.. I like em… they have a good colour scheme. The poses are dynamic. ANd your spoty paint scheeme doesn’t draw the attention you feel it does.
The horses eyes and face do command attention.
Most of all I really like how the elves when called to arms, take Mums best curtain rail off the wall and stick a fancy pointy bit on the end.! Thats a volunteer! Thats classy Trev!
Yes there spears do look rather like curtain rails don’t they.
