So I was mooching about in the shed looking for a mount for her ladyship. I now have three choices off the top of my head. Technically I could put her on a wood elf horse, but I don’t think it would work.

Now personally I prefer the top one as I feel the lines actually flow nicely from horse to rider, it is only an aesthetic thing, but I thought I would ask what other people thought.
As you probably know I do like my Contrast Paints, as I was mooching for the horse I found my Advanced Space Crusade and it looks like I was going for an early version of them…

For the big beasties and the unfinished ones they were done in GW washes and inks from what I remember. Soooo I have decided that these need an update so the five scouts and two ‘nids are going to be undercoated again and brought up to date. This will fit in nicely with Ann‘s Neglected but not forgotten challenge Here.
I managed to get the paint on the bases tonight….

As I had the brown out, I thought I might as well get the Mongol cavalry bases painted…before I paint the models! And finally, as I had some new whit I thought I might as well spray as much as I could before bed….

I’d go the top horse – and as a bonus it’s also the “proper” one. But more importantly, I think it’s the one that looks the best of the three.

A nice collection of classic models there, and I agree the top horse suits Lucrezia best… unless she fits on one of those dinosaurs!

Aye, definitely the top horse. As you say, the lines match. If the lines look different it suggests to the eye that the rider is travelling in a slightly different trajectory to the horse (and as a result will soon be lying on her arse in a field).

Speaking as a rider, I have to agree 😂
