Wow two post in as many days! a new record! Well really just part of one of those resolutions you make to yourself around this time of year, to do something more, or do something less! Well one was to do more painting of mini’s, more playing with mini’s, and actually posting more about it! I also vowed to try and take pictures of and categorize my entire collection here…lol we’ll see about that, I will try. So here goes the first “mini post” of 2020.

It seems that my breaking from the tradition of never taking commissions for painting a few years back has led to more and more commissions, mostly for friends and many times to try painting figures that I would not paint for myself but I feel may be interesting or a challenge to paint.

This is yet another unit for Chris Armstrong’s ever-growing Byzantine SAGA warband. This time it’s a “warrior” unit of 8 Mounted horsemen. They are painted as Normans in Byzantine service but I kept the paint job a bit more “generic Norman” so they can be used by Chris as mounted Medieval horsemen in many roles.

The horses and the riders are from Gripping beast and have had some modifications to their poses as well as hand made steel spears added. Shields are hand painted. The next unit up for Chris’s Byzantine army is a 4 horse Cataphract unit.
