WHFB: Dark Elf Manticore II

Here it is with the rider:
Produced back for WHFB v6, when Beastmasters were a hero type for DE (a poor choice), the rider came as a multi part kit:
Holding onto the Manticore by its Mane, the Beastmaster has a long lance like weapon.
Needless to say, the weapon/arm is attached at a strategically weak point so needed pinning.
The rider also needed pinning onto the model as well. So the rider got a pin up its posterior….
This means I can remove the rider should he be killed leaving the mount on the table.
For the second model I have they will be integral.
The Lost City of Carcosa 
That’s come out really well 🙂 Any thoughts of changing the look or pose of the second one so they aren’t identical on the battlefield? Or perhaps converting or replacing the rider?
The Manticore itself would need major surgery to make a change to its pose, and as it’s already built, unlikely unless I can pick up a third on e-bay cheap…hmmm… 😎
Now the rider is a different matter, and I could either build the second one as the vanilla option and greenstuff the rider in, and then re-visit this model and have a different rider with a pin up the posterior….
Or I could just buy a third copy on evil-bay for £15 (inc P&P) and have another option.
Oops…I just did.
