GW News: BIG N' SMALL WAAAGH! COMIN'

I thought this was Bretonnian when I first looked, the Sigmar symbols are highly visible but that helmet distracts far too much for my taste. It does feel more AoS visually even with the boarding looking like demigryph barding. Would definitely remove those feathers at very least. I'd probably remove most of the barding details and possibly the plane on the horses head. I'd love to see it in a non GW paintjob.

 

It's not the feathers that are the problem, it's the animal head decoration that the feathers are attached to. It it was a simple sallet helm, it would be fine. Put some feathers on the sallet helm, because the Empire like their pretentious feathers, it should still be fine.

Problem is, I don't think we can just saw off the animal head décor. It would leave the top of the helmet too flat.

As for the barding... I dunno. I'm not seeing too much of a problem with the barding; this is a member of a highly prestigious knightly order, I can see him having some decorated barding. It's just that helmet that does me in. Change the head for a proper sensible sallet helm, and it will be fine I feel.

 

For me it is the taxidermy cat head on the shoulder pauldron that is a bit off-putting.

 

Alas, that's a Knights Panther thing. They wear cloaks made from actual panther pelts. I would prefer not having the head attached to said pelt, but as this is a character rather than a generic knight, I can see why GeeDubs made the choice.

 

I think that would rectify the problem. Or if they are hellbent to include it, then have it draped over the helmet instead. It just seems to big on the shoulder pauldron.
