Creating a Captasus (squadron?)
« on: March 02, 2024, 08:25:07 PM »
Hi all,

So in this age of 'want an army, no models' I've been thinking about how I'd go about making a Captain on Pegasus. Back in the day I know I used a Brettonian Pegasus Knight and stuck an Empire captain torso on it and gave him a lance, pistol and shield. The result was okay, I guess - annoyingly I don't have any pictures of him.

Anyway, I definitely want a new Captasus for my new army, I've been trawling the internet looking for options. Pegasus Knights now come in a box of three although you can get them for abour £12 off eBay (amazing what having your models out does for prices...) so perhaps building up three different options would be an idea. I'd prefer minimal green-stuffing - I can gap-fill but sculpting isn't really in my skill set...

This leads me to a few questions and my post!  :happy:

1. If you have one, what did you use?
2. Does anyone have both a Brettonian Pegasus Knight and a Freeguild Cavalier? (you can see where I'm going with this). Would it look out of proportion/silly to kitbash the front legs and wings of a Pegasus Knight onto a Freeguild Cavalier? How are the proportions? Also the heads looks a bit small on the Cavaliers' horses - is this just a quirk of the photos online?
3. Any third party 3D print or resin pegasi out there that would fit with Empire?

Soth made me one, many years back now.  I keep it in the same box it was received, and will need to dig it out to say what he used.  It was interchangeable between a sword or a lance using magnets.  Will get back on the rest when possible.

Check Fireforge games' Albion:

https://fireforge-games.com/albion-50

You can get four Pegasus Knights for 30€.

Yeah, I'm loving the Pegasus captains in TOW, and would like to play more than one. But I want other things too, and have only played small games. So no room for more than one yet in my lists.
