| Only 3 figures in this range - actually sorted the range because I was using the cavalry horse for another 'conversion' |
 |
| MC1 Mounted knight with lance |
 |
| M1 Foot soldier with poleaxe |
 |
| M2 Foot soldier with long spear and shield |
 |
| These are the figures I was originally working from - basically based on Medieval Islamic cavalry. |
 |
| The only 'modification' to the rider was to give it a shield from the Khmer range. |
 |
| First 18 figure Kushite heavy cavalry unit based on the Numidian cavalry. The gloss varnish on this lot aren't making for good photos! |
 |
| I chose to do a six base unit rather than a four base unit as this corresponds to my normal infantry or light cavalry basing structure. In retrospect, should always have done it this way... |
 |
| There is a second unit undercoated and waiting in the queue. |
 |
| I actually did seven elements - including a general. The Pharaoh is a Greek cavalry figure with a Rose Prestige Range head. The cavalry are a simple paint conversion - rather than sand down the Roman shield pattern I just lathered several coats of paint over the shield! |
Just added this to pages and placed it at the top!
Note: I've not included any of the 54mm figures, Pendragon figures or pohotos. The catalogue itself doesn't include any of the 1968-1972 'Classic' ranges of figures. Most of these figures should be available/castable, just won't always know until I try...
 |
| Rhoxolani MC - at some stage I intend to do an Alan/Rhoxolani conversion of the cataphract by cutting the kontos down, at which time I'll be able to do mixed LC/MC units with JLS/B/Sh. I painted the armour using Vallejo leather brown - can't say I like that choice, red leather would be better and use the leather brown for belts, etc. |
 |
| It's a nice figure - found the masters but no record of the figure, made it as a one piece casting because the original separate rider didn't cast easily. Must admit I like painting up the standards, just don't think of them as being in any way realistic! |
 |
| Over the years I've collected a lot of odd figures and units that really need to be spruced up a bit. This lot seem to have been sourced from at least two different places... |
 |
| Anyway, can't see me doing a full overhaul of these so I've pretty much done the minimum to make them presentable. At least it's another unit on the roster. |
 |
| After all the basing, sorting and generally getting into commission the Gauls I got from Harry there were still a few left lying around... |
 |
| Seemed a shame to waste them so they've been based and put together - not sure it's a unit as such, but at least it gives the Gauls another 10 elements! |
 |
| I seem to have taken a long time to paint this lot. Still, there are six of them, usually do chariots in batches of three. |
 |
| They have been done as line chariots/lower class nobility. Plainer horse furniture, side panels of chariots painted to represent whitewash. The charioteer is the Gallic archer minus his bow. |
 |
| This means I now have a total of nine chariots - three higher class, six slightly lower class warriors. Might do another six in the near future - that would give a goodly force of fifteen, should be enough for most purposes... |
