Models for Moonbroth

I'm helping out Simon Miller and Ian Notter put on a the Battle of Moonbroth at Hammerhead in March. It'll be great to get at least some of the GloryGeeks back together for the first time since... gosh, 2006?

I'm gradually going through my Gloranthan 28mm stuff to see what can be put on to temporary 120mm-wide bases to serve as To The Strongest elements.

First up are these Ostrich Riders.

These guys have appeared here before in a couple of Song of Blades and Heroes skirmishes. The riders 20mm scale plastic HaT Numidians with 28mm scale Numidian heads transplanted on to give a Pygmy appearance. The ostriches are white metal castings I bought at a show somewhere; sorry can't remember the manufacturer.

I made the sabot bases out of two layers of card and then textured, painted and flocked them to match the existing figure bases.

I'm assuming they function as conventional javelin-armed light cavalry in To The Strongest.

Next up we have a unit of Sun Domer archers.

I had one Hordes of the Things element of these but Simon very kindly sent me three more similar figures. I added arrow quivers (four from the Victrix late Roman light cavalry set and a couple that I designed and 3D printed myself. The second chap from the left also received the transplant of a hand with bow from the same Victrix set. A painted gold wristband helps disguise the join.

Not sure if these will be light infantry or bowmen in the game. I'll leave it to Simon to rule.

The rest of my Sun Domer Templar army will get a sprucing up next. It looks like forming a couple of deep pike units. There's also the Standard of Sun County which, if I recall correctly, has a never-retreat-in-battle thing going on. We'll have to consider its effect.
