Hello,

I am looking for a somewhat non-traditional model: a dwarf on a horse! Ironically, the dwarves ride horses in The Hobbit, which is where "traditional" heroic fantasy began.

Thus GW does have a Legolas and Gimli on a horse model. A dwarf and an elf getting cozy on a horse! Shiver me beard! Although--perhaps it could be assembled without Legolas?

This is for the Pathfinder RPG (25-28mm). I want a dwarf mounted on a bear, so I could use one of Reaper or Scibor's minis. However, I have to be 7th level to do that. So up till then I could ride a horse.

Thanks!

P.S. Searching for "Dwarf Horse Miniature" brings up actual small horses. Argh!

I think a dwarf on a pony would be pretty hilarious and awesome, does it have to be a full size horse or do you just not like the look of little horses?

Edit: Just another thought, could you use pack horse and have the dwarf on foot until you can use a bear?

Well, I'm not sure I want it to be hilarious.

Yes I had a notion of just leaving the horse back at the inn. It would be kind of strange to be a cavalier (required class for bear) without a horse, though.

Hadn't thought of the pack horse idea.

Thanks!

GaleForce 9 has plastic horse standees that you put your mini on, so I might do that.

Look at Old Glory's website - Under the Dwarf Wars range there are a few choices of Dwarf Mounts.

There are Essex Dwarven Cavalry which have dwarves on ponies but I think they're hard to find. A quick ebay scan didn't bring up anything :/

You can also check the Dwarf Wars range. They have different cavalry dwarves. Wolves, Rams, and Pig. I think they may have a horse or two as well.

There is also the Battle For Skull Pass Pony. While he doesn't have a rider you could always mount him on a base and have him walking behind your character. Or convert a rider.

Thanks for the tips!
