Spring Cleaning Challenge: Imperial Guard (PROJECT COMPLETE!)
An Idea for Cavalry
I want the Galland Regiment to have some Cavalry but Horses don’t seem to fit for these guys.
Horses are great for a Dedicated Unit or for Mounted Infantry but if you’re going to be charging a Carnifex with a Lance that has Grenades strapped to it a horse might be a tad skittish.
So I found a WH Fantasy Plastic Dark Elf Cold One and a Napoleonic British Hussar, gave him a Turban.
The Rider is just a stand in it can be easily replaced but what about the mount? Is it in scale with the rider? Does it seem justifiable that a Human could ride around on a Cold One type Mount? Should I give them proper lances or just say the Hunting Lance Attack is the Cold One Pouncing on the enemy and give them swords or carbines instead.
One Option for the Riders, ignore the Heads and weapons. These would be more "Civillian" themed. The Cavalry is the Branch of the Aristocracy and training these Cold One things is very expensive so maybe they go to battle in their elaborate everyday wear to show off their wealth? 
The Second Option (any ideas please comment them these are just the two I've been mulling over)
These would have a head swap to something more aristocratic but I do like the idea of a lot of flowing robes in expensive silks with patterns and gold
My only issue is do they look aristocratic enough? These guys aren't Tribal Warlords, Galland is a Tribe/Clan based society but they are modernised to at least a moderate standard.
