How to Make Mounted Infantry In Any Scale www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4XNYsxIgmIAs always, my painting skills are not the greatest, and my video making skills are worse. That said, I think this is a worthwhile little trick to have in your bag. For those of us who often make very small "armies", it is possible to have a lot of versatility by using 'add-on' pieces, like loose cannons, mounted infantry horses, officers' horses, banners, to add to very generic infantry such as khaki uniformed askaris or sun helmeted Europeans. Obviously, this is also useful for medieval or fantasy games like Chainmail, to represent hobilars, Varangians, huscarles, bazooka-wielding gnome dragoons, or whatever.

Nice idea. Consider it stolen. Cool. Kind of a weird serendipity. I posted my vid on making mounts for infantry / rpg characters yesterday morning, and just happened to be looking through Enworld in the afternoon, when I found these riderless mounts for 28mm: stuffershack.com/store/horse-minis/They look nice, IMO, and they would certainly work. The only quip I would have is that none of them appear to have saddles and bridles. This would work for a fully intelligent (ala C.S. Lewis' Narnia creatures or Donaldson's Ranyhyn) fantasy mount, I suppose, though not for anything historical, except maybe very early Plains Indians.
