Echo all the above - bare horses because it leaves the most room for kitbashing. Most cavalry units in wargames are units of 12, sometimes less.  An ideal box might be 12 standing/grazing ho...

@Hudson Adams Bare, but with tack sets produced as upgrade sprues

Bare horse standing or walking but also some form of option to add basis saddle, or furniture for pulling wagons so large neck collar and small straps that could be used as harness lines.  May...

@Grumpy Gnome  One more factor for your mental calculus.  The Warlord metal Italians are the smaller end of 28mm.  The newer WGA Italians appear to be on the upper end. Screens...

@Aureus Mandate  Nice work.

Generic horses, with separate releases for various historical era cavalry (ancient, dark ages, etc). You could then include the saddles with the riders. 

How about cavalry for Russo-Japanese War? Cossacks could be used for WW1 as well 

I think stationary horses would work well for things like the SS cavalry for bolt action, but this also means we need to know what type of riders or if any you plan for these horses.

I would be interested, but only a sprues worth. Don't think this would be something that would sell well in a full box. As others have said most people are just going to want a few. 

I would suggest bare horses with furniture, blankets and saddles as separate parts on the sprue. If possible.

The latest teaser looks like a clear match with some Russo-Japanese War or WW1 Russians. The head that was teased earlier has the visor and cockade placed on the brim rather than the crown, but the...

I would be interested in a box. If the Sprue includes a running horse & a dead one; more.

I'm not sure I can see buying a box of nothing but standing, grazing, bare-back horses, but if you make them part of a larger set of some sort, that might get the most bang for the production buck....

The painted mini is a 28mm metal Warlord Italian Infantry... I believe. You know how eBay goes. The painting standard was better than what I expected from the auction photos.

Great.  Now I can't shake the need to cover one with 1/48 tank stowage bits.

Bare horses minus any tack would be more versatile and could fit a lot more genres. Even if you did a basic, or generic tack set, they'd only be suitable for the timeframe of when that (or similar...

It depends on the price.  They might be easier to justify buying per sprue for a specific project rather than per box with too many to use right away.

@OrlandotheTechnicoloured Dried "wet wipes" work well too. They evenly stretch to the sides and do not have a pronounced texture, which is good for scale.

Thay settles that: https://wargamesatlantic.com/blogs/news/new-set-announcement-early-20th-century-japanese

@Grumpy Gnome  The Warlord 1/56 is clearly too small.  My guess is the too big Atlas brand model is 1/43. This supports the 1/50th and/or 1/48th being the sweet spot. What brand/what i...

@Grumpy Gnome white glue soaked tissue paper also works really well for simple fabric like blankets

As usual I agree with Orlando. Blankets are easy enough to sculpt with greenstuff if folks need. It is much more difficult to remove an unnecessary blanket for say, wild horses.

Well a couple of packages arrived in the mail.At first the 1/56 Warlord vehicles looked too small. Especially with the driver of the truck being so tiny. And I thought the Atlas AB41 looked “...

Probably not something i'd use, but i can see a market for them. i'd think bare of tack makes most sense (and makes them most versetile), 

We've been thinking about doing some plain standing horses - some upright, some bending to eat/drink. There are a lot of questions though! 

@Grumpy Gnome  Well the pictures seem very clear: https://diecast43wwii.blogspot.com/2013/06/mersedes-170v-de-agostini-classic-armor.html That is definitely the same model sold as 1/43 and ...

One way to decide how many kits are needed is to think of the Death Fields background and what the rules/organisation will be, remember the background is super powerful aliens have kidnapped warrio...

@BS Kitbasher  Fair point... although for my part I only really remember my Airfix 1/72 toy soldiers and trees made out of pipe cleaners. Granted that was 4 decades ago.

I thought 1/43 would be too big but it really is not that simple it appears.  It seems to me Eaglemoss is Atlas... which is also De Agostini... which is also Classic Armor... which is also Ne...

I do like Fried onions.   Good footage and as you say, a catchy tune. Goes back to Napoleonic France if not earlier.

Catchy tune.  Great footage. Onion Song - French Poilus

Progress made on some of the Irish! I am pretty happy with how these two turned out and can confidently say they look even nicer in person. I used the Army Painter Flesh wash and am very happy ...

I love the Russian jokes.  Someday I'll have to watch the source material for all the Stierlitz jokes.

@Grumpy Gnome that's the theory, but the reality is that most kids' parents end up doing all the work (mostly by buying craft store kits and accessories).  I remember back in the day, the...

@JTam  you need to see the Shieldwolf ShieldMaidens, then.  Many of the heads have pouty lips or seductive expressions that just look too much like the cover of a Men's magazine to take s...

Thanks for the update.  These guys look great.  I like the unit number (and are those kill markings?) you added to the shoulder pads between the first and second posts.
