Rough Riders are go!

So I finally started on Max' Rough Riders for his Astra Militarum army.  They're not in the codex, but they can still be fielded using the Index books.

The horses are Chaos Marauders' horses with all of the chaos'y bits taken off (either by cutting or filing them down).  The holes in the blankets are filled in using liquid green stuff so they appear smooth and not ratty.

The legs are from Victorian Miniatures.  They are designed to be used with the Empire horses which are smaller.  I cut them from the sprue, removed any flash and mold lines (there's not many), and threw them into a pot of boiling water for about 10 minutes.  Once they were soft, I took them out one by one and super glued them to the horses.

Now to start adding the bodies, heads, and arms.

More to come.
