The goblin force of the [Warfork Fantasy Battles] New Year's resolutions 2025 - The Battle for Arduthrond Glade project includes an Orc Shaman on Wyvern. Making it more difficult than it would need to be, I want to model the Wyvern with a removable rider, and the rider as a foot model; after all it might happen, that wyvern or shaman get killed in a game and the other fights on alone.
For the wyvern, I choose Blacksting, Wyvern from Reaper Miniatures, mounted on a 40mm base.
For the shaman, I choose Orc Wizard Wolf Rider for the mounted model, and Orc Shaman for the model on foot, both from Mirliton. The crew of the [Warfork Fantasy Battles] Da Skull Crusha was built from Orc Command Group 2, where I had a back banner moon left over, which I used on the model on foot's staff top, as the mounted model had that type of staff head as well. They don't exactly fit size wise, but are close enough.
Both bases are metal bases from Products for Wargamers.
The wings I pinned in place with two paper clips on each side.
To be able to remove the rider, I plan to drill two holes into the top of the shoulders of the wyvern, to insert two magnets. These will be hidden by a thin layer of putty. On top of these, I will then build a saddle.
