This is the French La Couronne Regiment, Seven Years War, figures by Frontrank Figurines...hands on hips and showing contempt for their enemies! As always they are lovely figures to paint, lots of good clear detail to put the brush to. I know they are not based but its still worth showing off some pictures of them. I have finished quite a few of these regiments now and have to say I am enjoying the project.

15MM BELISARIAN BYZANTINE ARMY
This is a recently finished commission - a 15mm Belisarian Byzantine DBM army, and it was enjoyable to paint as well. The figures are produced by Khurasan Miniatures of America. I was impressed with these figures. I had previously painted a few command figures by them but this is the first full army I have painted with their figures. Impressive figures.
The heart of the army - the legions, or so I thought until I discovered they are Bd (I) so not quite so good but they are backed up by Ps archers to the rear.
Above: "Isaurians" (Irr Ax (O) - somethings got to cope with those patches of rough ground. Below the Boukellarioi (Reg Cv (S).

Legio Palatina Lanciarii Seniores
Legion Palatina Nervii
Legio Palatina Matiarii Seniores
Legio Palatina Daci - all of the shields were hand painted. The customer chose which legions he wanted, and as far as I know transfers are not available for these units. I thought these are going to be difficult to reproduce and take a long time. But as it turns out it wasn't too bad and I actually enjoyed it. (I know I must be insane!)
Its no longer the Roman legions that do the business but the cavalry. Lots of Kavallarioi (Reg LH (S).Above: "Isaurians" (Irr Ax (O) - somethings got to cope with those patches of rough ground. Below the Boukellarioi (Reg Cv (S).

10MM EARLY IMPERIAL ROMANS
Just for a change from the usual 15mm and 28mm commissions I do....here are some pictures of a 10mm Early Imperial Roman army I have recently painted for a customer. The Legionaries and the auxiliary cavalry are Pendraken Miniatures, the light infantry and command figures are Magister Militum.
They are all set up ready to do battle...
....but then decide to leave the nasty barbarians alone and go to Rome instead...

15MM XYSTON MINIATURES ANCIENTS OF VARIOUS TYPES!
These are various bits of work I have recently completed, all Xyston Miniatures 15mm. Above two pics are a unit of Successor Theurophoroi - I think I spelt that correctly, not too sure but I think we all know what they are.
The next two pictures are Parthian Cataphracts; being 4 figures to a base and with Xyston being slightly bigger figures I worried that they would not fit on the base. It all worked out fine in the end though!
The following pictures are....yes you guessed it Scythians who seem to get everywhere amongst these type of armies, and this is a good thing because they look so good!
And then finally two pictures of Successor Cataphracts, charging there and charging back again just to show off

28MM SUCCESSORS
We have no internet access from 4th - 12th July, and will not be able to answer emails...we'll get back to you as soon as possible when we get back online! Apologies for any inconvenience.
In the meantime here are some pictures of a 28mm Successor army using Polemarch's figures (available through Gripping Beast). The Elephant and crew is from Aventine Miniatures and the Scythed Chariot from Magister Militum.
