Impetus campaign? Tell us more, please.
The figures look quite dark & mean, love that.

Very nice.  You went for a much darker uniform appearance than the box art from WG. I like the way that looks.
Reminds me I have box of those for my Dacian force I never did get started on.

Cheers chaps! 12 units to go,perhaps some foot as well; the eventual army will be about 300 points.

 Thanks Doc :) Yeah I'm running a campaign using book 2 of the Impetus lists,the campaign is unoriginally called Dux Europa; so far I've have about 4 Romans (West/East),2 Germanics,a Sassinid and another Sarmatian. It starts early September so I have a bit of work ahead of me ;)

These look even better than the first lot

What are the like for size?  Are they on the smaller end of 28mm, like the Warlord Romans?

Cheers, Simon

Cheers chaps! I am enjoying painting these,in particular the banner bearer; hope I can keep it up. They make a nice change from my usual,rather slow painting....

  Not sure, they seem in scale with my Conquest Normans,though the horses are (as they were historically) smaller.

Absolutely agree with this - I didn't like the Warlord Sarmatians at all when I saw them on their website - but these look great! I didn't even realise they were they same figures at first... :o

Those do look terrific; again, great photography.

Are they the Perry Foundry Huns mixed with Muskateer?  I'd imagined the latter would be larger.  Ion't have any yet but am tempted).
