A while ago I got the Mantic Drakon Lord - but with a GW knight to replace the lord - a better fit with the Ral Partha minis the army is made of. For my birthday I suggested that my daughters get me the Drakon regiment … they failed. But this was a good thing as a regiment came up on eBay for a good price.
So I thought I would need another rider - as I was using 2 of the elf cavalry horses for a general and wizard (yet to be sourced), so I had 2 knights available to ride the Drakons.
Unfortunately I hadn’t factored in the following …
The Drakon riders are integral to the body of the beasties - so what to do?
Try and remove the rider - simply not worth the effort.
So the plan is to remodel a bit - green stuff the cuirass, change the lances, a mail skirt over the the legs and riders need heads to more match the rest of the army. I did look at some 3D prints and eBay for spare GW stuff, but the prices were silly. The current plan is get a sprue of Oathmark Elf light infantry and use some of the helmets from there.
I was hoping for a simple rider swap … best get back to preparing the celts for painting.
