I know the old adage, it's your models paint them the way you like, but does anyone know what color the DKOK death riders horses are in the universe?

While some were originally painted light brown, they are described as been "nearly hairless" and the latest FW paint jobs reflect that -

Uniformly pink skin with a black mane? Some very weird genetics going on in that horse...

(Or the painter just wanted the 'naked mole rat' look and didn't know that horses rarely have pink skin, because unlike naked mole rats they do not live underground!)

A little bit of righteous anger now and then is good, actually. Don't trust a person who never gets angry.

To be fair, they are genetically and cybernetically modified steeds, so the genetics should be weird If I wanted to make a horse that could roam the irradiated wastelands of Krieg, looking at the cancer-resistant properties of naked molerats is a pretty good place to start!

Considering the situation on Krieg the horses may in-fact live underground.

But the death riders, like other Krieg forces will train above ground, and whilst the horses have a rebreather, they do not have all their skin covered, so they would need some help for those training exercises - gene spliced to be more cancer resistant.

I mean, it does have paws rather than a single hoof like horses, and seems to put pressure on the toes rather than the "hooves" (claws?) it has so the skin color is the least of it's problems.
