Cataphracts #2

 

Here's the second unit of Byzantine Cataphracts.


These are Old Glory figures again. 


They will likely serve as Palmyran or Sassanid for my two Historicon games. 


As metal castings, these are very "heavy" cavalry indeed!


These will be the last armored horsemen for the next 3 months at least. Napoleonics will be the kings of the painting table between now and Historicon.

  5. Your hobby time should include back exercises to strengthen the body in order to move all these new units! More work.

    1. Does putting the boxes with them on the high shelves count?! :-)

  6. I too like the yellow being used there. As for exercises ... got back to my stretching and pushups this morning, hopefully that helps with many things! : )
