Title: Palmyrans
Post by: Prof.Witchheimer on June 20, 2014, 02:20:23 PM: A bit late, I know, here are some shots of my LPL (Round 9) Palmyrans. Lovely miniatures from A&A, made by Aventine's Adam. Lots of stuff and details to paint therefore I had to speed up my painting trying to make the deadline. Would have loved having Zenobia more colourful getting to her I've been too exhausted. Anyway, that has to last.

That is a classic range. I'd love to think that Adam will return to it at some stage.

Post by: Big Martin Back on June 24, 2014, 11:33:19 AM: Nice. I've got a 15mm Palmyran army boxed up somewhere. Those Aventine figures male me think of doing it again in 28mm - I MUST resist!

The figures are from A&A not Aventine, we do make some that will mix in but the camels etc. are A&A.

Is this a smaller army project of yours or will you paint up hundreds to this quality? If so, you are crazy, but the good kind of crazy.

Rather small project, I'd say, I don't think I could keep the motivation for hundreds of them for long.

Thanks! Though as mentioned already the figures are from A&A miniatures, not Aventine :)

And I too think Zenobia is just fine.
