Been hard at it again this week. Eclectic bunch of ancients for you to check out.
The 1st guy is the only one I don't love. I did paint him with very cheap acrylic paints as a test and he's a bit more glossy than I'd like . Otherwise those HOMY ARYT paints are quite a good deal.

3D Breed Iberian
|
 |
| "Ballista" from the historical fiction series by Harry Sidebottom. A Germanic Auxillary in service of Rome he has various adventures | from Mesopotamia to Germania. This figure is by Aventine. |
 |
| Turn counter also Aventine. The dead dude is actually a superb figure. I wish they'd make a " before" version of him too. |
 |
| Mounted Hunnic archer, another auxillary in later Roman Empire. I think he was Eureka. Again been with me for many years, unpainted and unloved until now. | |
 |
| Victrix Unarmoured Persian Cavalry |
 |
Battlecat Roman Equites
|
 |
| Victrix |
 |
| Victrix modified from the Early Saxon Warband kit |
 |
| Crusader Miniatures |
 |
| Battlecat Carthaginian Elephant. 3D printed. 1 of a set of 2. |
 |
| hopefully I'll complete the 2nd beast before the comp ends. |
 |
Very enjoyable. The skin texture is very pronounced so I used makeup spongue to add the brown shades over a black basecoat. Was dead easy and comes up great.
so 120 points all up I make it. :) |
From Millsy,
Another chocolate box post of beautiful ancients Steve! I never know quite where to start with these as there's always so much variety and interesting stuff going on.
Rather than just list stuff let me talk about two things that jump out - the wonderful horseflesh tones you've created especially the greys, and that simply wonderful elephant with all the beautifully painted decoration. Both are smashing and would grace any table.
I make it 12.5 x 28mm infantry (half points for unbased) including nellie riders, 6 x 28mm cavalry and 1 x 28mm vehicle for a total of 143 points. Top work mate.
Cheers,
Millsy
