Aunit of Sassanid Cataphracts (28mm Old Glory).
I went with thicker wire for them for durability reasons; the thinner wire looks a bit better but is much more prone to bending sand detachment.
The detail on these castings was quite good.

That's the last oft he 2017 Historicon Painting Surge; these troops have all ha their tabletop debuts, and I hope to be heading home within the hour. I had a great show as usual, reports will be forthcoming soon. Next year will be in Lancaster, and I doubt that there are any of us from New England who will miss the drive from Baltimore on South.
Very nice looking minis! The scarlet and silver works well.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Dean. They are pretty tough on the tabletop, too!
