There's also a pack of purity seals and parchments that might be of use:

As for GW, try and get hold of some Empire plastics. Flagellants, Knights, State Troops, Militia, all will have some useful stuff.

When you say 'Crusaders' what sort of aesthetic are you looking for? Like things drawing from the actual Crusades or what?


I'm actually not sure - Not really a specific aesthetic, maybe a semi-medieval one? 'Crusade' might be a bad word for it, I pretty much want a collection of Guardsmen/Marines from several different regiments/chapters united under one fanatical leader.

I really love Anvil, the only problem is that they are pretty expensive for what I'm looking for. Sorry, they're great, but a bit too much.

I've had a look at Warlord Games' Pike and Shotte range: great looking 17th-18th century models. I'm not sure if they're the right size though, both the Bolt Action and Hail Caesar models I own are slightly too small for any Guardsmen bits. I'd love to have a Rough RIder unit made of either their Swedish Cavalry (with accompanying infantry!) or their generic cavalry box.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/749074/9795663.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/749074/9795663.page GMT Good kits to convert crusading Guardsmen from http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/749074/9795680.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/749074/9795680.page GMT Good kits to convert crusading Guardsmen from 40k stuff.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/749074/9795692.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/749074/9795692.page GMT Good kits to convert crusading Guardsmen from http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/749074/9795709.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/749074/9795709.page GMT Good kits to convert crusading Guardsmen from

Mad Robot has some sci-fi horsemen.

It's obviously not going to be optimal: I'll have close to no armour (right now at least) and 2 5-man squads of Rough Riders. Only dilemma is that I have more sword/spear arms than musket/crossbow/lasgun arms! I've thought of using swordsmen/Spearmen as conscripts.

It's a shame I can't have an HQ on a horse, I got a beautifully painted Bretonnian knight that would be perfect, but I guess I'll have to pick the infantrymen with the fanciest armour.

Also, a bit of a moral dilemma: two or three of the horsemen plus some of the infantrymen (and a few of the random other figures I got) are really well painted. Like, almost beautifully, including some of them models I'd like to strip and repaint. I feel like it would be a bit rude almost to the woman's (presumably) dead brother to remove his beautiful paintjob. Maybe I'll keep two or three models in their original paintjob and strip the rest?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/749074/9810631.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/749074/9810631.page GMT Good kits to convert crusading Guardsmen from http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/749074/9813801.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/749074/9813801.page GMT Good kits to convert crusading Guardsmen from http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/749074/9834002.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/749074/9834002.page GMT Good kits to convert crusading Guardsmen from ig army and i don't recall seeing too many white and red ig armies.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/749074/9834092.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/749074/9834092.page GMT Good kits to convert crusading Guardsmen from http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/749074/9834108.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/749074/9834108.page GMT Re:Good kits to convert crusading Guardsmen from
