I have seen some nice conversions of an armoured glorfindel on Horse, but I was wondering if any one has done Gil-galad on horse. Since he is offcialy allowed an armoured horse he could be quite potent on the charge.

If you have done this conversion, I would like to know how, preferably with pics :)

If you use that Elrond I'd recommend a head -swap for sure

The Elrond looks great.

I simply green stuffed over the bow and clipped off the quiver of a Rivendell Knight captain. Not painted yet though...

I've done one, I used a plastic Dol Amroth Armoured horse and placed a Knight of Rivendell (no Helmet) on it, then game him an arm re-arrangement. I will post a picture later when I can.

Mounted Elrond looks awesome!!

Looking at the Gil-Galad model It seems quite hard you will have to seperate his arms from the body. His spear could look quite cool in a mounted model.

It seems that the best bet would be use a another model with a head swap and then model his garments.

Cereal thief has an armoured glorfy and gil-galad mounted. He used the armoured twins as base models. Head swaps, arm reposes. Pm him and he'll gladly send you photos.

Here's my Gil-Galad on an armoured mount. Its a cheap and easy conversion if you have the Dol Amroth and Rivendell Knights plastic kits.
- remove Bow and quiver
- re-arrange arm position.
- switch in a plastic Dol Amroth armoured horse
- you could always go further and use some greenstuff and what not or do a head swap.

@rigg

Thanks for posting, I have seen some nice conversions now. Your conversion does look well executed, and a good paintjob :)
I have to admit that I dont like the dol-amroth horse, it gives me a warhammerish feeling, but converting from a rivendel knight seems like a 'cheap' option indeed. I would rather use a galadhrim horse
