Victoria Miniatures Tease Project Warhorse For Sci-Fi Wargaming
October 20, 2022 by brennon
Victoria Miniatures has been teasing some images of a new sculpting project they have been working on. Project Warhorse fittingly has been going on in the background even as Games Workshop previewed their new Rough Riders for the Astra Militarum.

Project Warhorse is going to be heading to Kickstarter in the near future and the focus shifts from the style of the Attilans to something more historically inspired. The idea is that they are more in line with 19th Century Lancers or early 20th Century mounted infantry that would have been seen in World War I.

There are still a few elements that need to be tweaked and changed before the final product is ready but what we're seeing so far is pretty darn awesome. There is going to be a nice element of customisation to the riders allowing you to add all sorts of bits and pieces into the mix when making your own unit.

According to Victoria Miniatures, there are a fair few things left to tinker with. Updated horse breastplates, wrapping for the horse's legs, camo cloaks for the riders, World War I bandoleers and maybe a few pith helmets for good measure.
I am very eager to see how these miniatures look when the final product is offered up via Kickstarter. All of the "Imperial Guard" from Victoria Miniatures are fantastic and a solid option for those who want to make a unique force to use in their grimdark games of Warhammer 40,000 and beyond.
It's always nice to have options!

Still a pass from me but at least they’re less silly than the GW space horsies.
At least this one could be used in a Mad Max style game. Tech is there but no fuel. Or Fallout/post apocalyptic.
There’s that. As long as no one’s giving them orders like “capture the railguns”
Attack the tanks like the polish in WWII ?
isn’t this a myth, the polish attacking tanks?
These minis are nicer than the gw new ones, probably not as cool as the old ones
Fabulous looking Calvary for fast attacks an scouting.
That does look really nice.
These are well done and a great resource for 40k players but, and this must be a rare comment, I prefer the GW riders…..?
Victoria as ever doing stirling work to provide the discerning Guard Commander with some superb alternate options…
Yeah, I might have to get these.
The world and his wife appears to be doing Imperial Guard better than GW, even with their current “refresh”. These are quite nice and definitely better than the shower that GW are trying to pass off as rough riders
Honestly though what I really want are those Border World Rangers rider torsos so I can kitbash up some Tanith First& Only outriders on bikes…..
I might be wrong, but I think the torso are compatible with the riders upgrade sey
This look great as always from Victoria Miniatures, if there on Kickstarter with STL’s like the latest halfling snipers I’ll pick them up just as a nice little side project.
