I guess under Harby they could be amusing--buff them up, Crusaders call them then have them charge something and sidestep back under her feat. +2/+2 doesn't really push their stats too crazy either--giving up that one DEF probably isn't worth that low armor.

I was hoping they would get acrobatic horse chargers--for the giggles.

They did in the in-house playtest, apparently. I think it was nixed for being silly, and also for the problems of trying to fit five large bases in the middle of the enemy unit.

Oh yeah? I missed that. Hilarious!

**Mr Morden**

Hmm Ishara = Farseer model - nice

Iron Mother = Necron Lord model - very nice

**Silver_skates**

I really like that Retribution caster.

Can I really justify starting Ret when I already have Khador, Menoth, Cygnar, Trollbloods, Skorne, Circle and Legion armies started?

(I don't follow PP closely enough to tell if it's old or new stuff)

**tigerstyle**

Just ordered the stormtower, mechanics and hammersmith. Cheers brah.

May get the commandos and atgm if i get my bonus tomorrow

**RiTides**

Not sure where else to put this, so: Stryker3

**malfred**

Boogity!

**primalexile**

I see an opportunity to convert him for an on foot variant as well.

**Wehrkind**

Cygnar's new warcaster is Christopher Reeve.

Seriously, that jump is not going to go well for man or horse.

Otherwise a very nice model I think.

**malfred**

I like the flag.

**Wehrkind**

I hope that flag is attached somewhere other than his wrist, but yea, it is a very nice design with the pennants.

**RiTides**

That's the kind of huge flag it would make sense to have a "stirrup" for the base of... hopefully they thought of that!

Yeah? Is that a historical thing?

Yup, usually any sort of large banner or even heavy lance had a cup somewhere on the saddle to keep it in place. The leverage to keep a large banner on top of a large pole is just not available single handedly if you can't brace the bottom somewhere. Basically for all the same reasons that metal flag poles that only attach to the wrist of a model are a bad idea.

Nice little article here.

**Fango**

Hopefully he's been using his 'Thigh-Master' or he wont be that saddle for long...

**malfred**

Huh. Thanks for the link!

Two words: magnets.

**Wehrkind**

Yea, I really hope Stryker is leaning forward a bit more than that angle implies. I also kind of hope his sword arm's wrist is easy to rotate around; that is a rather awkward position.

Really, PP's sculptors need to Google "horse jumping" and do some research on how horses work when doing that. Their equestrian models leave a lot to be desired on multiple fronts.

**highlord tamburlaine**

Focus lets you and your horse leap over low walls in a single bound.

Focus also keeps you in your saddle.

**Wehrkind**

It would be funny if he could spend a focus to gain Pathfinder, or a 5" leap.

**motyak**

Damn I want that model

Finally done updating the massive backlog of stuff into the first post. Get a little busy and fall behind a lot. Also Scyrah and Convergence wreck markers.

**RiTides**

Rotterhorn Griffon and Argus Moonhound:

**Surtur**

Already in the first post good sir!

**lord_blackfang**

I remember back when I started Circle was the most visually diverse faction. Now we just keep getting variations. 2nd griffon (that's really just a 5th warpwolf with wings) and 3rd argus.

**Surtur**

3rd griffin actually.
