Late Roman Equites

 

Some Late Roman Equites I finished a little while ago. I did say I have a backlog of units to post.;-) They are some much needed heavy cavalry for my Romans....well I always need more cavalry then I have to be honest.



As cavalry goes they were not overly difficult to do which isn't to say they are not time consuming which they are just that the parts were pretty accessible to paint. What can I say Foundry miniatures just keep standing up to years very well indeed. Are they over priced? Yes. Will I still keep buying them? Yes of course and b*tch the whole time as I do probably. However, I always keep my eyes open for a deal and avoid full price when possible. This Christmas I didn't order the Foundry deal as I ordered other things, but last year I did and when I visited England I picked up some.


  

The unit has a few repeats as I used what I had at hand, but that's fine as it gives a unified look to the unit which works for Romans.




I have another unit of Equites to do, but they are Foorsore miniatures which are excellent as well!, However, I'm staying on my Pyrrhic project.for now. I'm almost caught up on the units I've finished of which Late Romans are again one of them.

Thanks for viewing!

    2. Great news your up coming painting Goths during the new year - I have question what do you think of To the Strongest rules set, playable?

    3. I think To The Strongest! is an excellent set of rules and highly advise playing them. Probably in my top 3 rule set.

  7. I'm drinking my early morning cup of tea, these are my cup of tea too. A favourite period beautifully executed; and yes my Late Romans could benefit from more horse too.
    Happy New Year
