100th Drookian Fenriders - A Cavalry Company
Company Command Squad Part One
I have finally gotten around to converting 84% of my command squad
1.The Commissar
The commissar has had a cloak added (mainly to disguise the conversion work done in the body swap), and a fur connector to disguise the join. A servo skull has been added, as well as a stand alone rebreather, and hunting lance sheath to tie them into the squad
2. The Officer
Has a bonnet to further tie in with the Scottish routes of the regiment, a power sword, a lance and personal banner, and a few pieces of additional equipment
3. The Standard Bearer
The simplest conversion. A banner in place of the hunting lance, and a sword for combat. Added rank insignia on the left shoulder
4. The Navigator
Reading a map, and uses his binoculars. Hunting Lance is stored on the back of the horse. Rank insignia added.
5. Medic
I decided the medic would not carry a hunting lance, so instead is carrying a standard lasgun. In addition I thought they would be required to carry more equipment than the others so I added a bit more stowage to the mount, as well as added the medic symbol to the left shoulder
6. Horn blower (Vox) – WIP
See below for more information
Where can I find a Horn?
You may have noticed I didnt share any individual photo of the Horn blower, that is because I have misplaced (Ed: LOST!) the horn I was intending to use on him. I thought the horn works well with cavalry and can count as a vox-caster, as well as can be used to control the dogs.
Unfortunately I have no idea where my piece originated so I am hoping someone can offer some suggestions to a replacement. I was certain the original was an WFB Empire piece but, have trawled the GW website I have had no luck in tracking it down
It is really good to see this project back up and running.
The command squad looks good, the dogs really add to the whole scottish/celtic feel of the regiment so far. The conversions of the conversions have created some entirely unique miniatures that must be really exciting to be able to paint.
As for the horn, I am aware of the Old WFB/AoS Empire Greatswords, that contains a horn that can be stolen with a simple hand transplant
