Well, at least somewhat.<BR/><BR/>The key to making infantry into cavalry almost always comes down to cutting them at the knees or the crotch, or both. <BR/><BR/>I have dealt with Neal over at the Warstore before. He's a great guy and runs a great business. I have not ordered bits from him. I have bought all my Kroot bits on Ebay. Tere are a couple of good bits sellers there if you are looking for parts from the various figure sprues.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of ebay, I'll have to check for the pterosaurs.Eli Arndthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10445801567500822187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441824499938029576.post-19702838334020569952008-10-24T15:30:00.000-07:002008-10-24T15:30:00.000-07:00Plastic chickens?

Put in a search for Schleich dinosaur.<BR/><BR/>And I guess you are just braver than me at the whole cut them off at the knees thing. Maybe I'll order some extra leg bits from thewarstore.com and give it a shot. Do you get your bits from them? They are great to deal with.J Womack, Esq.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14400879353685357966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441824499938029576.post-43319813567980058332008-10-24T00:52:00.000-07:002008-10-24T00:52:00.000-07:00With the Kroot being plastic and not attached to b...With the Kroot being plastic and not attached to bases, I can't imagine they will be too difficult. I little cutting at the knees and some clever putty work and poof, riding kroot.<BR/><BR/>The hardest part, I can imagine, is going to be finding a mount that scales up right for them. If i can't find a flying mount for them, I may have to find some sort of flightless bird mount they can ride as cavalry. I wonder if I could convert plastic chickents to look menacing enough?Eli Arndthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10445801567500822187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441824499938029576.post-26083942982613474942008-10-23T19:06:00.000-07:002008-10-23T19:06:00.000-07:00Check out Schleich, Safari Ltd. and Carnegie.

I bet you could find a suitable pterosaur. But modeling the legs of the Kroot to ride it might be tough.J Womack, Esq.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14400879353685357966noreply@blogger.com
