Victrix EIR Cavalry - WIP
Just a quick update of my current project - started in yet another momentary lapse of judgment, clouded by fermented grape juice.
Dry-brushed the metal areas first, and then the flesh and leather areas. All given ink washes and then again, highlighted.
For the record, I ordered this set from a seller in the US, Phil Vernon, who I met at the WAB GT in Nottingham back in 2013. He runs an online business out of Louisiana which sells most UK-made plastic miniatures at very good prices. I'm also waiting on a set each of Advancing and Attacking EIR infantry from Victrix.
So much for now. Best wishes and good health and to you all.

Looking good Dean! I'm working on some advancing EIR legionaries but have been side tracked by the Wargames Atlantic Persians...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mike. I just ordered a box of Warlord Games Ancient British off of eBay to oppose the Romans. Guess I'm a bit of an Anglophile, as with my Napoleonics. :) Kind regards, Dean

Lol! Yes it is the devil's playground for us gamers, particularly when are guard is down. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteThey are very nice models. I just finished a batch of them and the mounted command models. The horses are nice as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks, PC. I was looking at the command set, but may get the Celtic Chariot set first. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteGood looking Romans! I'm sticking with warlord plastics as they're a bit smaller and tie in better with the figures I already have!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Understood Iain. I actually ordered a box of Warlord EIR Auxiliaries and Britons as they are on the larger side. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteI like them; I can't recall seeing Roman cavalry with the feathers as worn by the Punic Wars infantry.
ReplyDeleteLooking at the figures, I am reminded by a (side) line from "Turn back, Oh man" in Godspell...
"is your seat comfortable, Sir?"
Thanks Peter. I agree about the feathers. I wish they had regular comb style crest. Warm regards, Dean
