Welcome @PIGM00  your choice of games will greatly please the @avernos (MAWM)

Unique is the word for those figures and I did check out the line they come from at Miniature Figurines.

I’ve got to say that they’re not my cup of tea. The vast swathe of sculpts done in metal I find are bog standard horses with various quirks from different sculptors and changes in armor. I will grant that yes there are small producers (such as…[Read more]

Wargames Atlantic does good work with their plastic sets of horses and spiders for mounts. I see GW breaks from merely having horses with wolf, boar and spider riding mobs. Mantic has their brock riders as well.
