I love the BSB too. And the marauder horse looks excellent!

They are indeed. Some of them have been converted a bit to make them more individual though

The Norscans are gathering: https://mandollies.com/2017/11/21/speedpainting-norscan-marauders/

I´m about halfway through my speedpainting session, 27 down, 30+ more to go :)

Awesome project! Do you have any particular army composition you are aiming for, or are you just doing it unit by unit? Do you intend to keep using KoW rules?

It recently occurred to me that T9A Empire would work decently for a Kislevite army. They can get fast cavalry with heavy armour, spear and shield, which should be ideal for representing winged hussars. They get volley guns. Handgunner detachments will get a proper buff in T9A 2.0, that could be used to represent massed streltsy musketry. Only thing I can't think of how to place would be kossars, not if you'd want them to have both proper ability at archery and close combat.
The only good thing about 7th ed heads is that they look particularly inbred and superstitious which is perfect for Stirlanders

Another thing. Have you looked beyond GW? It occurred to me that Khador from Warmachine may serve your purposes, if selecting the more mundane and less steampunky models. If not else then as bases for conversions. This gentleman, for example:

I actually have a large Khador army, so maybe that is what has kept me from using any Khador minis this far. I think I may buy some of their woodsmen to add to my next kossar horde though, as they fit in very well.

The greylords can certainly also fit in well, but I have no shortage of wizards, so they haven´t found their use yet.

It sounds like a perfect fit for lancers with that fast cav, but Kings of War is a great game, and now that I have discovered multibasing, I can´t go back :D

No particular army composition, I have some units I want for gaming reasons, which include a war altar of ursun and two troops of ungol lancers. I also want lots more winged lancers as I think they look fantastic when massed.

These Norscans look particularly menacing. I really dig your paint scheme - seems to work wonders for these guys. :)

The Commander of the Gryphon Legion has arrived (ahead of the actual legion). More pics and some fluff here: https://mandollies.com/2018/01/19/gryphon-legion-commander-tordimir-lubovasyn/
