My most recent purchase from her was her Rough Rider bits... I bought the Brodie Heads and made me some nice cavalry. Every WW1 themed army must have cavalry in my mind.<br /><br />Mounted my cavalry on GW Wargs though... just did not seem dangerous enough on horses. Pics next week.Wessickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05697250908441056032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2378700651858895147.post-58979577936456496042012-05-09T18:37:21.896-04:002012-05-09T18:37:21.896-04:00Hello mate, I like the look your trying to create ...Hello mate, I like the look your trying to create and looking forward to seeing what you come up with! If I hadn't fallen (Expensively!) back in love with Praetorians what I was thinking of doing was a British WW2 Infantry guard battalion conversions. You definitely need to make your way over to Victoria Lamb for some brodie helmets, I got some from her and they are ace, exactly what your looking for! She does some other good stuff, you may want to consider using her arms as they don't have shoulder pads or even her victorian torsos are cool and may fit with your WW1 theme. Shop around for bits, ebay bits shops can be expensive and you'll often find getting some non GW stuff from one of the many companies new is a lot cheaper (and way cheaper than FW!) Secret weapon miniatures do some nice looking back packs, I was going to get some but I admit I haven't seen them in the flesh yet. Maximini is another place you definitely want to take a look, greatcoat legs are there (review on Gravis's blog) I think they look fantastic, just what your looking for I would think, they also have some gasmasked brodie heads that you might fancy. Anyway good luck!Bufferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03760231317600749021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2378700651858895147.post-12458764599757611822011-12-26T19:30:59.712-05:002011-12-26T19:30:59.712-05:00I have completed a few since beginning the blog. ...I have completed a few since beginning the blog. Originally I thought of eliminating the shoulder pads as well... but after a few "injuries" decided to just accept their presence. Thank you for following by the way. Good to have you aboard.<br /><br />It takes away from the world war one appearance, but it adds a 40k touch I think.<br /><br />I have been following Colonel Gravis for a time, and he has been putting a lot of Victoria Lambs products on his blog... very interested in them.Wessickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05697250908441056032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2378700651858895147.post-38140721783803833712011-12-26T18:54:03.335-05:002011-12-26T18:54:03.335-05:00Looks good to me so far!

I think your biggest challenge will be making them look 40k enough at the moment. GW not allowing other models is a bit of a pain, if I'm buying knock of space marines sure don't let me, but something like Brodie hats or kilts which they don't make... Well not letting us use them is just a bit spiteful I reckon!Colonel Winterbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335124398357546922noreply@blogger.com
