The collection of Sassanid figures come from Old Glory
and was a painted ten years ago. My painting skills have since then improved
and I thought about enhancing these by adding more colour and details and so
started with the nobles.
The cataphract (4Kn) appear initially from 225 AD
onwards and as this project goal will carry to mid-3rd century I
will here. The cataphract were given a coat of black so I could dry-brush bronze,
iron or a mix on each base. Plumes, cloaks and harnesses would also receive a
new splash of paint.

They look much improved. It can be hard to know how far to take a 'spruce up' of old figures, but I think you've updated the look very nicely.

Agree, very nice job!
ReplyDeleteI am pleased at the improvement, as not only have the painting skills become finely tuned, but use of colour and combinations become bold by comparison.
ReplyDeleteYet, I am still learning and willing to update some of the old armies.
Thanks for the compliments.
They look very nice Robert good work.
