| Meanwhile I'n still working on other conversions. The front one is the early Rhoxolani Sarmatian figure painted up. At the time I thought I would need to cut away the kontos and replace it - thought the lance would be too thick.Tried it anyway and actually looks OK - cut the kontos down, hammered the head into a spear point, and works. Shield is from one of the Sarmatian infantry as per the WRG book. Last figure is from the cataphract with the bowcase removed and large shield added... probably needs a smaller shield, but as a first attempt at a Goth heavy cavalry doesn't look too bad. |
They make for a real colourful army, very nice, the cavalry figures are lovely little miniatures.
ReplyDeleteThink there will be space on a future mould for the middle figure, the Goth is already doable by gluing a shield on the cataphract without bowcase figure... if I get round to starting a Goth army. So should be a future for them.
DeleteColourful indeed, charming.

Thank you.

ReplyDeleteThe though of an eventual 300 figures in the same pose is a bit offputting.
