And they're done...... 28mm Gripping Beast Roman Cataphracts

        This took longer than I thought (probably because it has been too long since I painted any figures) but I have gotten the Gripping Beast Late Roman Cataphracts (which I did a photo-review of here) finished. Even if I say so myself they are a nice looking lot of figures. All figures were painted with Americana acrylic paints and over-coated with Krylon clear matte finish. Basing is playground sand over Americana Honey Brown paint and the grass is a mixture of short static grass and Woodland Scenic's "Burnt Grass" fine turf over Americana Medium Hauser Green.

 

might need some more work on blending that base into the stand....

one of the things that I like about the Gripping Beast minis 

is that the riders sit convincingly on the horse

 

and the horses, well, look like horses

        From a cost perspective these are a very good deal, from an appreciation of excellent sculpting these are very good minis and from a players standpoint these are a great addition to my army.

        Very highly recommended.
