New battle reports!!

Hi guys!! I was giving my friend Alan a bit of a Warhammer workout - he's thinking of getting back into it and wanted to test it out. We had three battles in the past few weeks, and unfortunately I lost 2 out of 3 - only won the first one - GAH!! The battle reports for the first two are online as follows, but I haven't gotten a batrep done for Game 3 yet - I'll post it as soon as I do...

And the following Pistolier Musician I converted!! I have included instructions also!! :)

Instructions
:

(1) Parts

I began with teh following bits:
* 1 x Medieval horse(the unarmoured Empire/Brettonian warhorses)
* 1 x mounted body legs(Empire command frame)
* 1 x pistol(Milita boxed set)
* 1 x head w' feathered hat(Empire command frame)
* 1 x musician drum (Empire command frame)
* 1 x musician drumstick arm(Empire command frame)
* 2 x additional armour plates(the extra plates from the 6 Ed. soldiers boxed set)
* 1 x milita body(Milita boxed set)
* 1 x cavalry base

(2) Assembly
I gathered all the bits in a pile in front of me and began work.
(1) I assembled the horse and drilled a hole in his back for a pin(I pin all my cavalry instead of gluing them - makes for easier packing/transport)
(2) I then left the horse to dry and stuck the Milita body to the command frame legs
(3) Meanwhile, I took the arms and attached 1 of the armour plates to each one
(4) I stuck the head to the Milita body
(5) After approx. 30 mins drying, I glued the body and legs together
(6) I then attached the drumstick arm arm and glued the drumstick to the legs on the same side of the body
(7) I attached the pistol arm
(8) After approx. 60 mins drying time, I drilled a hole in the underside of the legs for pinning the rider during games
(9) Finally, I cut the pin to length and superglued it in place

VOILA!! One converted Pistolier musician!!
