based but a hefty problem arises

I spent about 3 hours getting the lads off the double-sided tape (which is excellent btw) and onto bases.

But. 

There are two elements of heavies - the half-armored horses that depending on your source is cataphracts or not - and those really ought to be clothed but not armored.

Plastic Soldier Review made the same point, but it's only now they are assembled I can see how wrong they'll look pretending to be equites.

PSR suggests using other horses but I'm not really keen on a conversion project right now...
