Does anybody know of companies that produce futuristic (perfect if also grimdark) looking Cavalry models with guns/rifles?

Hell, it could even be some of the 19th century Napoleonic Era mounted rifles units as long as the miniatures are proper scale and could look like they fit in the 41st millenium.

GW has stopped selling the old Attilan cavalry, so right now FW's godawfully expensive Dkok cavalry seems to be the only place to get RRs.

Any info would be appreciated.

Look for any animal you want.

Purchase Victoria Miniatures Legs for rough riders.

Add any torso/weapons you want.

Done.

I made Badgers as mine. Love em. Also got a Moa and a Lion.

Empire Outriders kitted out with spare Guardsmen bits seem like the best one-stop option if you want to keep to GW.

Puppet's War Light Bikers



Not particularly cheap, but I think pretty cool.

I have combined Warhammer Fantasy Outriders (horses and armoured legs) with Cadians (torsos, arms and heads). Looks decent.

Wargames Factory. Either their War of Spanish secession cavalry or their Japanese samurai cavalry. The samurai have spears but the Spanish cavalry look a bit more Mordian. I have the samurai, glued some extra las pistols in their hands and saddles, glued some spare grenade bits on the lances, and you can put any special weapons on their backs. I've got nothing but compliments about them.

These are the cheap options, $25 for 12 models.

Scout marine bikes, with cadian torsos and victoria minatures rough rider lance arms is a good alternative, although not the cheapest way to go.

That's pretty much what I did in third edition, except that I could bits order the lance arms from GW, and the metal scout models were a real bear to cut apart.

Not sure Victoria minatures stocks the rough rider arms now, at least I can't find them anyway.

Would love to see how these worked out.

Futuristic? not many as far as i can tell
But look up Perry minitures they have horses.

Though i think i prefer the bike idea if you are going for futuristic.

I am rather proud of them, just need to finish painting them. The completed badgers have animal skin saddles and the gaps filled etc.

Does anyone know of any cool robo-steeds?

I used the clock work steed from WHFB empire mounted engineer as my conversion for Kamir. If you are looking for units of mechanical steed, I can't help you there.

They look cracking mate, you should be chuffed, bet they will look even better painted. Especially love the Jumanji guy haha. The Pith helmet dudes from Victoria are very tempting.
