Empire Master Engineer on Mechanical Steed

This is the figures I got off of ebay back in January of this year. I finally got around to painting it. What prompted me was signing up for a Dragon Rampant game day next month. He'll join the five Pistoliers to form a Heavy Riders unit.
He's a model I always wanted and it took a long time find one (reasonably priced) on ebay.
As with the Pistoliers, he's colors are associated with Nuln.
This is a metal model and I was worried the usual 25x50mm base wouldn't support the rearing horse pose, but it is balanced very nicely.
Next up are some light artillery and mortar support for the DAK and 8th Army. Thanks for stopping by and happy gaming and painting.

    A lovely figure (classic in fact) but one I never got round to buying.

    Good work, Dean. Unfortunately for me it takes about a year from the moment of miniatures delivery to finishing paint them. So your work pace is quite fast:)

      Thanks, Dmitry. I was side-tracked by other projects soon after getting the figure. One of the "projects" was my moving to a new house! :) Lol~ Kind regards, Dean

    Looks fantastic. I always liked the "renaissance-punk" look of the older GW empire models.
