First look at Aventine Miniatures Early Byzantines- they do look great!

Linkage:
https://aventineminiatures.co.uk/

(Taken from Wargames, Soldiers and Strategy):
https://www.karwansaraypublishers.com/wssnews/early-byzantines-in-28mm/

From Aventine:
"We have been working away at the new range, Adam has a lot of bits done and we are approaching the completion of the Heavy Infantry. To keep you all up to date we decided to shown WIP on some of the infantry. The mail aventails etc. still need to be added. Archers for the rear rank nearing completion. We already have the heads and shields completed so just the officers to do."







Love 'em!  :-* :-* :-*

Hi, we hope to cover all the necessary figures for the range. Next up will be the rear rank archers then the earlier/lighter armoured infantry in shorter mail. Adam has confirmed he will do slingers, staff slingers, archers, javelinmen and a load of different cavalry. It will be a big range.

Cheers
Keith

Absolutely superb.  Arguably one of the two biggest gaps in the 28mm market covering the late antique / early medieval period is finally being filled in terms of the importance of the subject.   The other being the troops that spearheaded the 7th Century Muslim conquests.   Will Aventine be producing a range for the latter at some point?
