Good morning,

I am working on trying to convert some rough riders. I got some bike models from Ramshackle games, but they are a bit big. I was hoping somebody could post some comparative photos for me?

I know a common conversion for RR is using SM scout bikers. Can somebody post a picture with a scout biker and a guardsman so I can see what the size difference looks like?

Does anybody have any stock rough riders from GW? Again, would it be possible to post a pic comparing the RR to a guardsman?

I really like these bikes , but am concerned theyre going to be relatively too big on the table.

Thanks for any thoughts / help.

The stock guard rough riders used their standard horses (no barding, no caparisons) of the time, still of a rough size to the WHFB horses last time they made them (don't know if they still do).

I used old VOID (1.0) viperwing bikes for mine, and they just fit onto the 25x50 cav bases (centre wheel to centre wheel) - and fit with a few mm to spare front and back on the 70mm capsule bike bases. The ramshackle bikes aren't a lot bigger than the scout bikes from what I've seen.


Mogul Kamir is in the centre, on a modified scout bike (the fairing is the canopy bits from an old Mirage fighter plane.)

I like the conversion concept!

Here you go
