Late Roman Cataphracts Back Rank

What a month! I'll leave it at that.

Painting time has been slim on the ground of late and varnishing conditions much less so! It's actually rained for more "40 days and 40 nights!". ) One could not make it up. I did manage to get the back rank of my Late Roman Cataphracts finished which, given that I have to spray the last few layers of varnish on, the indifferent rainy conditions, along with other stuff was quite a satisfying achievement. I'm usually much more prolific, but hey ho.....

I hope you enjoy them. They were painted with deliberate rapidity, so are not my finest- but they will certainly do for a game or twenty! I actually do not have very much time to talk/waffle  except to say that I've got another cavalry unit on the way as well as some back rank Archers for a unit (started two years ago but stopped in their tracks by the only disastrous varnishing accident I have had in my life!) It was bad, see quick pic below:

Details of the Varnishing disaster and what put me off going back to painting my Late Romans can be found HERE!

That was the one and only time I have ever strayed from my current varnishing technique!

Late Roman Cataphracts compete! 

(For now! I've decided they need another rank of 6!)




Cheers
