I went in on the recent War & Empire kickstarter, so I'll be getting their Vikings soon. I've also got a few packs of Xyston Thracians to go my Essex Seluecids.

That's just naughty.

Throwing so many well painted figures into a mini phalanx and inviting criticism that won't come.

Lovely figures as usual Steve.

Thanks for sharing.

I would be very surprised if it isn't scalecolor.
I have tested every white available and will vouch for scalecolor every time.

It is irish white lol

So true. I hate units that look like they are Boer wagon drivers with
enormous bull whips.

Very nice indeed. Not the world's most exciting figures but a lovely rendition. I am also very impressed with how neat the re-spearing is. In 15mm I seem to end up with horribly deformed hands and globs of superglue everywhere.

I'm looking forward to a group shot of the army.

If you are looking at Vikings, then Forged in Battle would be my recommendation.

At last, something I don't like!

I am still waiting to see some Numidians that get me excited. Maybe it's because I need to see some more lithe dynamism in the horses. Like Legio, I find plenty of Khurasan horses are just a bit too course and thick.
Title: Re: Deano's Ancients figures (Updated Mar 18th)
Post by: Shahbahraz on April 12, 2022, 07:04:42 AM
I have to agree. Nice sculpts, Nice paint, but they don't do it for me. Not enough animation, light cavalry should always be in motion. And while there are limits to maintain the sturdiness of the leg, these are very bulky. Like young Clydesdales.

Are they Khurasan though - they don’t look like these: https://khurasanminiatures.tripod.com/pmw-numidian-lcav.jpg

Though the Khurasan site is do hard to navigate, there could be others - I’m sure there are some Moors somewhere but I can’t find them!
