I'd always thought about revisiting him, and with the coming Macharian Crusade Campaign Pack from the guys at The Bell of Lost Souls I was given my reason - you'll see why in the future.
As I kinda alluded too in my previous post I've picked the Commissar Gaunt model as a base this time, his equipment is changing somewhat from the old version as he joins the Praetorian Lancers. At the moment I've got some very early work done but he's coming together very quickly now with the body mounted, pith helmet added, the base of the legs ready to be sculpted onto and an armature for the arms.

That's looking good. What horse is it?
Wow, that is a fantastic helmet. When you said you were using the gaunt figure I couldn't figure out how you could make it look decent. it has a very ungraceful pose but it looks great on a horse.
fyi the tallarn rough riders are back on the webstore.
Looking good, I was curious to see what would happen to the model initially, looks like you've really made something of this guy.
Make sure to post more WIP pics, there's alot of nice conversion work there, especially with mounting him on horseback.
Thanks guys :)
The horse is one from the WFB Empire Pistolers/Outriders, IMHO the best 'normal' plastic horses GW currently produce.
Wonder if the Attilians are back on there as well, just outa curiousity! Must have a look, I'm somewhat disappointed that Praetorians really done seem to be gone for good from mail order now.
More pics of this guy to follow as I get on with it, just putting the finishing touches to the legs at the moment.
