Personally I do glue my riders onto their mounts after painting them both. Also looking forward to seeing your progress good luck |

I glue good riders cos the mounts never stay on the field if the rider dies. With evil models the mounts often stay and fight so I don't glue them. Good to see you givin the game another go! You free on March 2 to attend the 'Best Event Ever' in Sussex? |

I glue mine on before painting. It's up to you what you do with the riders. I can't wait to see your progress now |

Generally don't glue them on, to make transportation a bit more easy. Some riders don't stay in place without glue though, depends on the sculpts. Looking forward to seeing them painted! |

They look very neat and ready for painting. I see Master Sauron lurking menacingly in the background. |

Good effort! Get them primed quick smart, and they'll be done in no time! If you battle with motivation (As I often do) I strongly recommend you batch paint them. If I paint sets of models individually by the time I get to the last few I'm sick of the sight of them, and prevaricate instead of getting the last one painted. Eventually, months later, when i get my act together, I forget exactly what paints I used for highlights, etc, and the whole thing is a nightmare! I think a fresh thread for a fresh new attitude is very sensible. Oh, and the real world isn't all that bad- once you get over the initial dread of meeting new people it goes much smoother. What marsbar said- come down on the 2nd of March. I plan on being there, which will be my first tournament as well, and my first venture in to gaming outside my current group of two! |

That's a great looking horse! Those small flowers on the bases are a nice touch too. Only had flowering grass on my bases so far, but will have to copy the bushy flowers for my Hobbits. Would probably go for a different colour on the reins and cloth though, to differentiate it a bit more. Usually use black for brown horses, but it depends on the colours of the other horses (assuming you want uniformity). |

I did think that it looks a bit strange with the reins that colour. I just find that Rhinox Hide → Mournfang Brown → Skrag Brown is a really good method for leather and it also happens to be the method I used for this horse. I will probably be doing another horse this colour, one a darker brown and then a couple black and grey, although I have no idea how to paint black horses. |

I really like the horses and the models so far, can't wait to see them all finished and what colour scheme youll go with. |

That horse looks so much better. If you are concerned about the reins being the same colour then apply a thin wash of a slightly different brown or a red and that will give you a subtle difference. |

Great effort! If you stick to the same high standard you'll have an awesome army to behold! |
