The mail looks very fine, I think you have certainly done it justice, looks great.

EIR was my favorite DBM army...
The chainmail was extremely well done by the sculptor and then received the best treatment from your brush! Excellent paintjob on very well sculpted minis!
Cheers!

That is the best mail I've ever seen on a plastic miniature, and your brushwork has picked it out perfectly. Damn them, but I'm going to have to buy some.

Fantastic brushwork on fantastically sculpted miniatures
-
They look excellent. :)
-
It's a credit to both you and the sculptor thatwhen i first saw this picture I thought they were life sized.
Victrix really do make the nicest historical figures around.

Outstanding SP. That has to be the best looking mail in this scale I've ever seen.
-
Wow, just wow. Your painting really brings life to figures that I wasn't completely sold on when I saw the renders. You can't paint any more of them, though, because I'm going to make a fiscally reckless decision if you do!
-
Amazing! Nevertheless, that mail armour must be heavy, with no waist belts to support the weight at the hips!
-
Breathtaking! :o :-* Some of the best painted 28mm minis I've ever seen.
Must be very excellent sculpts too. Never held Victrix in fingers. What they can do with plastics these days!
-
Truly inspirational work, SP, as ever! You really get the best out of these plastic kits.
Can't say that it's the best representation of chainmail I've seen as it looks a bit like scale armour. But that's the sculpting and not to take away from your paintjob. Seriously got me considering a purchase. Oh well. ::)

Yeah, that depiction, most likely derived from Trajan's column, is a bit off. Would have preferred to see these guys wearing waist belts, because it's an accepted detail nowadays. Despite the Bishop/Coulston comment, weight isn't that much of an issue as the baldric sliding with every movement.

Well done, and they definitely look like they are on campaign!
-
Great work on some very nice sculpts :-*
-
Their gritty look is amazing :-*
-
He looks bad ass. Is his cuirass of hardened leather (or is that just his natural man chest? lol).
-
Have to agree that the armour is in fact the one thing I dislike about these sculpts, which is a shame as I've waited some time for a versatile set of plastic auxiliaries for a Batavian Revolt project. Here's hoping they go for a different pattern when they start their Dark Age range at some point in the next year(s).
The paintjob is still on point though. The gritty look fits them very well indeed.

I just noticed it wasn't shiney so assumed it wasn't meta... :-I
