It has been a while since there has been an update on here. One reason is that I have been preparing a lot of miniatures with mass production in mind. Once the figures were cleaned and prepped en mass. I put away my tools and brought out the brushes for the first unit.
I chose these Newline Designs 20mm Seleucid Compainions to do first. They feature one pose for both rider and mount. During the prep I twisted some of their headsto give some variation. Also gave one rider a standard from the Macedon mounted command set and the leader is also from this set but head swapped with a spare Compainion.
This unit is meant to be a royal elite unit so the king has outfitted his troops with the finest cloth, armour and weapons! I have another set of these in the queue but they will be a shielded version of the unit, and may or may not have a uniform scheme.
They are fantastic sculpts, even the masks have eyebrows sculpted on! The intricate detail made them a bit tricky to paint but well worth the effort a welcome addition to my growing Seleucid force.
Next I'm working on some character figures. Antiochus III and Alexander III both 'the Great'!
1/72 ancient
Very nice, a unit I'd like to find or create in 1/72. Your painting is top as usual.
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil! The riders are comparable to 1/72 riders though the horses are a bit smaller to their plastic brothers.
DeleteSplendid stuff. Shading is spot on as are the colors. Love these.
