I know that Shadow Corps Miniatures, Demonworld and Black Raven Foundry have green skins mounted on wolves, but their models are large 15s and do match Legio Heroica Burgundian knights in heft and size.
My own Orc and Gobbo cavalry are mounted on Necromunda rats (conversion), but the rats have long been out of production.

East Riding Miniatures do boars so if your orc riders are separate castings you could glue them on? shop.eastridingminiatures.co.uk/ft54-1015-p.aspCheers Simon

Well got em Made a liar of myself as i was told Magisters fantasy range are on the big side so got em.
Still looking for some gobbo wolf riders with bows that i like so ended up getting six stands of boar cavalry and six stands of wolf riders with spears and hsnd weapons as light horse.
Got enough to make a Mongol DBA army but plan to expand into a HOTT force.
Er indoors has got em me as a X Mass pressie.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm even for me they are massive. Make Xyston look small.
Wolf riders are great and the boar rider sculpts are amazebobs but it is going to be tough to get three on a cavalry base so may keep up the hunt.

I had a similar problem with my heavier armoured types. The problem was solved by using a 40mm x 40mm base and mounting them in wedge formation (truly menacing).

Hi Baldie, Not sure if you want three riders to a base because it looks better, but the actual guidelines on basing are quite flexible - 2 or 3 for riders and 2 - 4 for knights. Cheers Simon PS Look forward to a HOTT game or two in Barnsley some time!

Hi Simon
I intended to use them as a Mongol force as well for DBA
Boars were to be cav 3 per base and Wolves were meant to be LH 2 per base

Oh i am so very fickle Found a box of 6mm irregular miniatures in loft, Orcs and Goblins and some medieval men to face them along with Ogres, Giants and a Dragon.
Now cant decide on a 15mm mongol/O&G force or two matched 6mm forces

No problem there. The 6mm are obviously 15mm Snotlings (the mobile lunch wagon for the horde).
