this model is quite difficult to get a characters legs around the wings without cutting/reshaping the wings. i find the best one to use is the brettonian pegasus, as it is designed to have a rider and is proportioned better.
just trim off the fleur de lis symbols and its good to go

Having sort of a crush on females i think this is a marvellous idea. Take a look at my female general bases on a 40k inquisitor. In my sig. Ive been thinking about making a mounted female wizard myself a couple of times. Parts i can remember right now that could fit such a model is the High Elf Mage kit. That has some slender elf legs. Top notch for women. Also take a look at parts from the new Dark Elf dragon kit. That has parts for a mounted sorceress. Altho she is half naked and not much fitting in an Empire Army it is, for green stuffers like myself without the skill to make full models, a nice base for a female model. Oh and the dark elf legs there come in a mounted pose with no robes/dress. Thus it should be easier to mount it on the pegasus. Good luck! Post it here when its done!

EDIT: Some Dark eldar heads could also work. Some of these have pretty wild hair styles and face expressions. Well suited for a wizard. Magic is the stuff of chaos after all!

Welcome! :smile2:

Apart from using the brettonian pegasus, you could also try the brettonian damsels. They ride side-sattle, and might be easier to affix to the beast.

Welcome to the Forum!

I personally would say sculpt your own if you wish to use this particular pegasus, as stated before it is difficult to fit existing models to it properly. Also, most GW females are (in my opinion) not very nice looking, sculpting your own would also personalize it better to your own style.

Hey mate

First off welcome to the forum, and thanks for letting us be a small part of your conversion :)

from my personnal view, ive always wanted to make the old Dogs of war Lucrezzia Belladonna into a wizard thus my suggestion is somehow sculpting her unto your pegasus.

No matter what you choose, i hope youll let us see what it ends up with. Once again welcome and ill be looking foreward to seeing your project.

Kind regards

Claus

You have some Bretonnian Damsels who doesn't ride side saddle.

Thought, it would look more female if she sits that way.

You could use this beauty, which will fit with minimal work on that pegasus:

Hope this helps a little.

In addition to what Novogord said, there's also this damsel which I was thinking about:

Side-saddle as well (it's a bit hard to see).
