So, would ravenguard legs fit on fantasy horses? Let's say Bretonnian, as they are a bit bigger. Or maybe Empire?

**eldritchzephyr**

*takes out the beaten up poorly painted Brettonian Horse (one for those like knight errants or whatever, the ones that have no helmets) and a pair of standard SM biker legs..... applies...*

Well they don't go in the saddle (without converting), but they fit wierdly well around the horses' neck....

But hey, converting is expressly for this purpose!

**Elusive71**

I'm pretty sure Raven Guard legs are the same as standard Space Marine Legs - unless you mean Raven Wing legs (i.e. Dark Angels bikers) in which case they'd have the dress. Anyway, I did a photoshop mockup using some photos from the GW website to see how they'd look. Personally I think it looks weird, but that just one man's opinion.

**beef**

where can I buy this model from? it looks like a robotic horse with marine legs. How cool is that?

**eldritchzephyr**

I LOL'ed

**Breotan**

And to think that I didn't read that sentence the same way you did, Elusive71. No wonder my conversions lack style.

Yea, definately use DA figures for the legs. The robes match the barding.

Something is wrong in Nottingham when the mere addition of SpaSe MaHruine (hurr) legs turns mounted fantasy figure into a Fear'd Inquisitor of the 41st Millennium. It's still hilarious though.

**Azazelx**

Most amusing

Looks like a Space Marine halloween costume...

**Gsm3Koth**

Elusive 71, you are a very bad man......

I guess thats a new take on the trojan horse idea. I think a Chinese dragon would hide the whole squad and the flamer trooper gets to work the head.

Pantomime Space Marine horse: Oh, Simone!

Carol Cleveland: Oh, pantomime horse.

Look out for that Chaos pantomime horse behind you!

**Shattered Soul**

Very interesting... but stupid.

**Glaive Company CO**

Stupid like a fox!

EXALT!

"Brother Captain Frank! Why must I always be the rear of the horse?"
"Because I'm the leader. I'm always the leader!"

**Elusive71**

What in heaven's name are you guys going on about.?

**Glaive Company CO**

Wouldn't YOU like to know!

You totally missed it though! Some dude (I forget who) posted this brilliant picture of the empire general's horse with space marine legs on it.

See, he was all like "I need legs for this mounted guy" and the picture was funny because the legs were on the horse instead of the guy! Or wait! Was that it? I don't remember right now but it was pretty good. Yeah, you totally should've been there.

**SirNotInThisFilm**

this is what I was going on about

therefore the correct answer to my post is Look out for Pantomime Princess Margaret.
