Mat_Arcand Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 So I am doing a DIY chapter that will use SW rules, but my dudes will be riding large cats around. Any suggestions for alternative mounts? I know I could use the lions from the WHFB High Elf Chariot, but does anyone know of an appropriately sized wildcat without a mane.

greendestiny Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 You could use the sabertusk cats from the Ogre Hunter model if you can find them. Also you could look outside of GW for bits. I know Reaper makes some nice cat models. I am sure there are more than that.

Jofus Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I have seen the current dark elf cold ones used, but the look a little to small for marines. If you want to use something like the cold ones you might try this, they look nice and big. Also I have seen the chaos knights steed and Juggernaut used. Not too sure you can make the steed look less chaotic if you are doing a loyalist chapter but with some clipping, filing, and filling you can remove a lot of the Juggernaut's chaos symbols. If you really want to go for something different there is also the boars from orcs, but like the cold ones they would be small I think.

nurglespuss Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Hi there, if you were thinking of using the high elf lions, they do look OK, but since the release of the new plastic thunderwolves, I think they are under-scale. Here's mine (from when the codex was first released): http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/lion2.jpg http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/lion1.jpg Personally if it were me I would be looking for something like the juggernaughts.
