Greetings. 

I want to ask you, friends, do we need a squad of  Desert Hawks, similar to the rider from the picture? Why am I asking -  these handsome guys no longer play on the table (legendary unit), they are not in the  codex or in the supplements, and their only value is exclusively collectible (well, maybe someone will need them for narrative games). So I ask you to vote. 

About the Janissaries with separate parts. Those will be in the command squad, which will appear in the near future. For those  who own the blender3d, I can offer to PM me and I will send you a link to the editable blender file, which you can change as you please.

 Let me remind you that to download from MMF you need to be added to the list there, for this write me your email address in the  PM. Thank you.

Could do with vehicles! But riders are a bit out dated aren't they?

Adam Kerby -Jones

So imma say no purely as they have no value in game whereas vehicles do.

Michael James

I don't use your models for 40k. I use them for grimdark future which still has riders

redpilgrim

Yes, they are now in the legendary units section, so they are not completely valid.

Mike Michaels

I would ask if you make these units to give them weapon options so they can run a Genestealer Cult Jackals. Love your work.

Scavvon

GW has rules for Rough Riders in their Warhammer Legends free PDF. Also, it seems like GW will be creating an all-plastic Death Korp of Krieg line of miniatures which will include their signature Death Riders cavalry unit. So I think that we will soon see cavalry return to the Astra Militarum.

Hunter Tanner

Ehhh this is a difficult question. On the one hand there's another group of guard that use horses which these would represent very well. On the other you could give them bikes which could be used to represent some more...xenos-minded desert hawks. Or you could forgo both and do something else entirely. Unfortunately I can't really answer this question as I'm neither for nor against it, however I do like bikes/quads a bit more over horses and feel they fit your designs a bit more. Either way more Red Pilgrim models is always a great thing so I look forward to whatever you decide to do next

Steve C

Yes to riders and mounts, but no to horses or variants of. Something like the old Gorkamorka Mutie Steeds would be appropriate for a hot, sandy wasteland...

Jacob Fike

If you make the people separate files from the horses, then they could be converted to ride bikes instead. Best of both worlds.

Alex

For Grimdark. For sheer beauty of your models. For the Emper... eh, for just the two first is enough.

redpilgrim

Thanks. I need to study them. I`ve never been particularly interested in them, although I really like their miniatures.

redpilgrim

Oh, that`s good. I'd really like to see them again.

Michael James

Looks like in grimdark future you can add weapons specialists to the squad as well. Flamethrower Fusion rifle Grenade launcher Plasma rifle Shred rifle (probably heavy bolter) All of these would look pretty cool on horse back

Wulf Tyrson

Big yes. I have no doubts GW will bring back this type of unit as it's iconic to the guard.

Grant Dawson

An option to use Death Riders proxied as another regiment is cool with me!

daniel gaumond

They were one of my favorite units back in the day. I converted mine to be riding lizards…seemed more alone dessert world to me

George Wiles

Probably yes, if there's a chance for head swaps to DKK death riders or winged hussars.

CommissarGaunt

NEED? No. Want very much? Absolutely.

redpilgrim

This is a very complex and difficult task) need to think) thank you)

redpilgrim

I've taken note of your suggestion, thank you!

N S

I would love a skitarii kill team more than anything :)

Albert Comas

A squad of similar riders would be AWESOME

Paul Nauwelaerts

I would LOVE riders! The painting and diorama possibilities.....

TempleOfWar

Yes but i think they would look super cool on bikes similar to GWs jackals

redpilgrim

I'm also thinking about bikes, but first I would like to try horses. :)

redpilgrim

I also thought about the lizards (cold ones)

Allan Rodda

I think yes, for those of us who either play older editions or alternatives to GW's latest offering.

Luke

Never been a fan of horses in futuristic settings, but I'm sure you'll surprise me 🤣

James Ford

I had a set of these, in the divorce I lost them. Help me regain the joy.

Michael James

To be fair the horses are supposed to be augmented cyborg type horses ;)

Seb Corson

They're not for me but it sounds like you'd like to make them, and I want you to do you 😁👍

Vandestris

By the emperor, yes!

Steven M Toyoshima

I've been playing a lot of 3rd edition with local players who want to get back to earlier editions they grew up with and the Tallarn rough riders are a big part of that history. It would also work well with the Grimdark Future rulesets too! Also seconding wanting to see bikes in the future.

hoob

Rough Riders are great but I think horses are the most boring option. Would rather see big riding lizards or something. It is sci-fi after all, you can get a little weird

john

Agree with some of the comments here, I'd rather see camels or something other than horse

Xavier

For future could we have some vostroyan style units :)

Tharehl101

ForgeWorld Tallarn Mukaali Rough Riders are much better. Also, One Page Rules Grimdark Future as rules for the Rough Riders in the Human Faction army books.

Z-Adam Trumble

Mech enhanced horses and/or bikes. Or horses. If it's an animal other than horses I'm not dead keen on bipedal mounts. I'll love em whatever you do to be fair.

Nathan Flanagan

If they not your standard horses then I’d be keen! Quad bikes?!

Jakub Lizińczyk

I personally am not a fan of imperial guard type units, so I am hoping for a different theme to arrive :D

Stephan Bock

Not playing, but mounted riders are nice miniatures on their own, provided the horses are not to static and provide a variety. Since you usually do posed miniatures, thats why I voted yes

Michael James

It would seem that you'll be making riders lol

Richard Daglish

When making riders for horses and bikes, if possible could it be done with torsos separate so they could be switched out for other regiments? If it’s too tied into the motion of the pose and strapping etc becomes problematic I totally understand. Just thinking for future tinkering

Richard Daglish

I know that’s a big ask with the way you build these guys but just incase it is doable

Richard Daglish

I agree on variety but I’m itching to see red pilgrim get horses looking as good as the artwork. Everyone who’s made stl files for horses haven’t really captured the poses particularly well. I reckon this may be our chance. Alien steeds or augmented one’s are often the go to choice because everyone knows what a horse looks like and they struggle so just decide to say fuck it, it looks weird because “alien”. That’s why most game art graduates make aliens :)

redpilgrim

I would still like to try making horses, thanks. :)

redpilgrim

I`ll try to make them already in winter 2022 :)

redpilgrim

Yes, I would still like to make horses. :)

Joseph Grant

A larger range of troops and heavy weapons teams would be better. More poses, special weapons, hq etc

Ev Shipard

I'd love to see some riders!

Ev Shipard

Your take on the Mukaali would be great. I'm not sure the spears would print well though.
