This week I am rolling out the heavy metal. I was able to finish two small units of Wargames Foundry cataphracts. While I like the figures, I am not a huge fan of the two part riders that connect at the torso. I think the torso connection creates variety, I can see the possibility of them coming apart.
Here is the first unit
I went a little crazy and painted the lances just to break up all the metal
Here are some close ups.
The second unit is a little more vibrant
I am not as happy with the shields on the second unit as I am the first. Painting lines in a circle are defiantly my Achilles heel.
Here is the class picture
16-28mm Cavalry.
Thanks for looking
Those cataphracts look simply smashing Eric. I'm going to award you a few bonus points for the hand-painted shield designs.

That’s a thundering herd of cataphractii, lovely stuff. Great work on the shields and kontos (what is the plural of kontos?)
ReplyDeleteLovely especialy the sheilds and lances
ReplyDeletegreat job
ReplyDeleteSuper looking cataphracts! I've got the same figures unprimed, glowering at me in a cupboard, I thought it was just me worrying about their torso's, lovely finish!

Cracking job on these little guys - very colourful and will stand out on the tabletop.
ReplyDeletelove these, esp the lances
ReplyDeleteVery smart looking riders, the Lance's look absolutely fabulous!
ReplyDeleteAgree ... love the figures and lances especially. Feel I am going to have to repaint my unit weapons now - these look so much better!
ReplyDeleteGreat work Eric, live the two tone Lance's.
ReplyDeleteWonderful vibrant colours on these!
ReplyDeleteGreat work - can't beat Roman heavy cavalry, really cool.
ReplyDeleteThese are great Eric, a terrific unit!
ReplyDeleteGreat colours!
