My Painted Byzantines on parade- Aventine 04 03 2021
« on: February 03, 2021, 06:28:35 PM »
I just couldn't help myself, I got Adam to knock up a sample of the command for the Byzantine Cavalry and I threw some paint at it, there are a load of small pieces to finish but I think it will be the officer for my first unit.







Cheers Keith

PS The first unit is being assembled for production now and should be ready in the next 2 weeks.

It should come as no surprise to you Keith that I am over the moon to see these reaching the point of release  8)

The first 2 packs for the Byzantine Cavalry have been moulded, they will not go on sale until we add the lancers and archers for the first unit. Next in the production line are 2 more commands. We have tried to limit the amount of separate pieces in these packs and the only separate pieces are the bow in the officers left hand, the standards and the musician in BYZ51 is in 2 parts to allow more variation. The horses are from another new mould and will come with these 2 parks, there are more horses for the next 2 commands. They are H6 and H7 and we may add them to the store down the line. Now that I have the photos of them in grey I can start painting. YO!

I spent all the money that was saved in my PayPal account for this range. It went on an Aventine successor army.
I guess I’m just going to sell a load more other figures to fund my Early Byzantine ambitions!

The next 2 commands have been moulded. Slightly later in period but it is a short timespan so will go with the rest IMHO. New horses H& for them. Shields to be added once we have sorted transfers for them and prior to them being added to the stores.

Keith, these look simply stunning.  To help with my budgeting and painting plan can you give a rough idea when the rest of the cavalry will be released? I plan to buy a whole army in one hit  Also, I think you intimated a few months ago that Adam may sculpt some Lakhmid/Ghassanid Arabs to be Byzantine/Sassanid allies. Do you know if this is still the intention?

Thank

Hi, we are working as fast as we can to get the cavalry packs out but there will be a lot of them, eg 2 packs of Boukellaroi with lance, 2 packs of armoured horse archers, 2 packs of early kavallaroi, 2 of a later style, unarmoured horse archer packs and mounted javelinmen packs.... the list goes on and then add allies and the remake of the steppe range, all this makes giving a firm date impossible, I would hope that most will be in the store by the end of the year. The main units for the range should be ready in around 2 months.

The figures you ask about have not received much attention given the amount of work needed on the cavalry, I will remind Adam of the plan again so it remains on the table for later.

Cheers
Keith

Keith, thanks, I know you are going as fast as possible. Your comment about 2 months fits with my plans. Just need to crack on with my Late Achaemenid army now!

Hi
stunning miniatures but what else could we expect?
Please do not forget the Lombards and mostly the Heruls as nobody ever made them! There is a likely representation of one Herul light cavalryman in Justinian's wars ( Montvert Publications).
