Wild Riders - 1

Wild Riders - WIP #1

"Only the bravest or most foolhardy individuals remain abroad when the horns of the Wild Riders are heard upon the breeze, for their otherworldly tones invoke the fear of the prey in all who hear them... Those unlucky enough to be caught in their path are ridden down without mercy, their deaths a sacrifice to the timeless splendour of the King of the Woods."

Whilst working on my Glade Riders I have also been making progress on a unit of Wild Riders. 

I have always seen the Wild Riders as the 'heart' of the Wood Elves. They resemble the great hunt and portray the speed, and furiousity, in which the army strikes.

Instead of using the newer 2014 casts I'm using the old 5th edition models, and, boy, are they great. The casts of the riders are what I envision a wild rider to look like. They are raw, untamed characters, all shouting and screaming. The horses also appear more 'mainly' compared to the newer stags; which I'm going to reserve for any sisters of twilight I build.
