Hello! So I just build my horses and gave my knights their lances. I already figured out that I would paint the horse and the knight apart from each other. But what about the shields? Should I also paint them separately because the shield covers a lot of the knight? I also saw that hole for the horse is too large for the foot of the horse. How do I drill my own holes in the base to get a better fit? |

I recommend a small hobby drill. Alternatively, you can clip off the pegs from the bottom of your horses hooves and glue them onto the base |

Thanks. I do have this one: https://www.amazon.com/Army-Painter-Min ... B0037V3S08 Would it suffice? |

Yep. Start with your smallest bit and work your way up to larger sizes. |

And what about the shields, should I paint them before gluing to the soldier? |

That is personal preference. I've done both, but I prefer to assemble 100% of the way and paint everything. Otherwise, you run the risk of painting your mini and after attaching the shield the superglue fumes will cause a white dust to appear on your beautifully painted mini.this doesn't always happen, but indeed occurs. For this reason, I assemble and then paint. |

So you also mount the model on the mount before painting? |

Yep. 100% assembly. However, I know some folks who paint and then assemble |

But can you still reach all the corners etc.? |

most of the time. But not always. The high vis stuff is always reachable. Take a look at my warriors of dale once I finish them and judge for yourself. |
