British Imperial Guard?

[Mr Mystery]

4381Evening all.

Just watching a bit of an old comedy sketch show called 'Not the 9 O'clock News'

And it had a video clip of the changing of the guard, featuring cavalry in full dress.

And I want to replicate that as a mass of Rough Riders, because they look cool, and I love cavalry!

Any suggestions?

[Kirsten]

personally I would recommend the Durham Light Infantry, they are doing some very exciting things with fabrics

otherwise I suppose Col. Gravis' Curious Constructs

Yeah, Victoria Lamb has made Zulu type models after GWs Praetorians.

Dystopian Legions also have chaps in Pith helmets.

I know that's not exactly what you're looking for, but you might fancy something there.

I am sure I have seen some of those heads somewhere

Perry Miniatures aren't too far off

alternatively get a decent set of pith helmet heads, fill the seams with green stuff, put the spike and hair crest on top, paint silver. the pith helmet has the chin strap and pointed front.

No, sir. Voystren are Imperial-era Russians (pre-commies.)

I'm suprised no one has mentioned the Praetorian IG yet. Mind you they've been OOP for yearssss and boxs are worth thier weight in gold on e-bay.

Praetorians just don't cut it for this idea.

Reckon I might be able to make use of some Pistolier parts (torso, horsey, possible legs) but the heads, again just not quite right.

Genuinely a bit surprised there are no existing parts for that!

I really thought a few of the Empire outrider heads are very similar to what you're looking for. You could always add an ork topknot for the hair/feathering.
