    Just watching a bit of an old comedy sketch show called 'Not the 9 O'clock News'

    And it had a video clip of the changing of the guard, featuring cavalry in full dress.

    And I want to replicate that as a mass of Rough Riders, because they look cool, and I love cavalry!

    Any suggestions?

    personally I would recommend the Durham Light Infantry, they are doing some very exciting things with fabrics

    otherwise I suppose Col. Gravis' Curious Constructs

    Yeah, Victoria Lamb has made Zulu type models after GWs Praetorians.

    Dystopian Legions also have chaps in Pith helmets.

    I know that's not exactly what you're looking for, but you might fancy something there.

    I am sure I have seen some of those heads somewhere

    alternatively get a decent set of pith helmet heads, fill the seams with green stuff, put the spike and hair crest on top, paint silver. the pith helmet has the chin strap and pointed front.

    I'm suprised no one has mentioned the Praetorian IG yet. Mind you they've been OOP for yearssss and boxs are worth thier weight in gold on e-bay.
