I was looking for my own knights (they've gathered a lot of dust sadly) to see what I did with them. Turns out I actually drilled holes in both the rider and the horse, gluing the pin into the rider so they could be removable but still have some kind of hold so they don't fall off. If you've already glued them to the horses, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Quite a few of the mounted heroes are attached to the horse so you'll just have to be more careful when painting the two components. Do you have a color scheme picked out already? Looking forward to what you come up with. ![]() |

Didnt glue them on yet, still in doubt! What did you do with the shields? |

I generally prefer to paint the the shield before gluing because I find it easier to paint that way, especially the back of the shield. -PoW |

If you are painting for battlefield then your paintjob is great and there is nothing we can recommend to change. I loved the grey paint scheme on your dwarves. Keep it up! |

You will likely find your wet pallette works better if you use parchment paper cut or folded to size over a sponge in a container of water. |

Really good looking unit. Painting looks pretty neat overall. Keep it up - practice is going to be the key in improving but honestly, for a first set of painted miniatures, those are very good and will look good on the tabletop ![]() |

Nice looking unit. Once you've done some work on the bases it will bring them to life further. |

Thanks! Any tips on what to buy for basing? I was thinking about Army Painter basing materials since GW seems a bit overpriced.. |

Good job MacCollac, for be your first miniatures they are more than good! Good choice to not make the eyes, the risk to ruin the rest is very high with bad eyes!! |
