Hey, I've been working on my 30k Mechanicum list for a while now (about 2 years, and I have an Ordinatus, a HQ, 1 fast attack and troop), and I had a unique idea to customise my army.

See, I recently bought Cryptark and I like its feel alot; its like everything a Dark Mechanicus player likes. But of paticular note is the design of the primary enemy, the Jackal;


See, it's very similar to my HQ choice, Archmagos Draykavac;


My idea was to order a bunch of Thallax and Ursarax Cohorts, and put the horse skull heads with wiring instead of their bog standard heads, maybe putting a cloaked hood to make they look even more menacing.

My only problem is I haven't a fething clue where to find horse skull minis in the size required, and I'm not about to buy 21 Archmagos Draykavac minis just to use his skull 21 times.

So, does anyone have a clue where I can find what I need?

Check out the Death range from AoS? There should be plenty of undead cavalry out there to lop heads off of.

Or bits sellers who carry them.

That is a tough one since most of the GW fantasy line got eliminated. A couple of bit sellers I have had luck with you might check or email: (sadly I just went through and saw nothing)

Tomb King chariots or vampire count black knights etc would be best. Maybe search Ebay for a cheaper set and cut the heads off?

I checked reaper and they have skeletal horses but the prices for your need are a bit high.

The previous poster is correct in so far as your best source of skulls is the old Vampire counts Black Knights range, and a handful of Tomb Kings models.

Unfortunately, that's pretty much your lot as other undead horses were metal.

Hey, thanks for the advice guys. Guess I'll have to do some thirfty shopping if I don't want to break the bank with my custom army. Seriously thanks, I didn't think about AoS Armies of Death Calvary.
