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.

I'm also on the W&E Kickstarter. I have been looking at their Byzantines. I suspect your painting style would look terrific on those.

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

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.

Post by: mc_deli on 11 April 2022, 09:07:30 PM: 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 12 April 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.
