I'm planning on making a Catachan Rough Rider squadron or two using old Dark Elf Cold Ones as mounts.
I already have a fair few Cold Ones but I'm hoping that someone can offer a good suggestion for rider legs even though I know it's a long shot as I've already searched the web with no success, but you never know what other companies other people know of.

I'm specifically after legs that'll look similar to Catachan ones so they don't stand out.

I'm not going to use old Rough Rider legs, WFB Empire legs, WFB Marauder legs, SM Scout biker legs, Victoria Miniatures Rough Rider legs (great kit but not the right look), Curious Constructs legs (not the right look).

What I'm looking at if I can't find suitable legs from another company is the Catachan plastic legs that have a wide stance. These require a lot of trimming and shaving so I'm hoping to avoid that

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

SM land speeder storm legs? Lots of them are in weird half-bent poses.

I'd cut the boots off of normal legs and glue them to a wire armature then sculpt the pants portion with green stuff.

For rough riders, I've used Tempestus Scions legs. Each pack comes with two legs with feet standing waist apart.
