It would be wrong to call them cavalry, they’re more correctly mounted infantry, and would be very popular on worlds with rugged terrain or a shortage of fuel. Horses – and presumably lizards – are after all cheap to run (just a decent supply of food and water), reliable and good at rough terrain.<\/p>\n

\"CavalryRelease\"<\/p>\n

There are three types of rider and two mounts. We have low-tech humans in the form of South African infantry in bush hats<\/a> and fully armoured PacFed troopers<\/a> as well, both mounted in horses. We also have alien Yenpalo figures<\/a> mounted on some rather ferocious looking Raptor-like lizards, all sculpted by Martin Baker.<\/p>\n

\"SF15-755-3\"<\/p>\n

\"SF15-1105-1\"<\/p>\n

The website is set up so that you can swap the mounts, so you can buy either human figure type with lizards or the Yenpalo with horses if you wish.<\/p>\n
