Hi all, painted some Greek light cavalry from the Victrix plastic set:

Nicely done. You and Ares should both be proud!
…and Poseidon, the horses are particularly cool.

Thanks Geof, they’re fun to paint, most of their cavalry sets have the same basic poses.
Lovely figures and painting.
It’s a shame I am resisting any more 25/28mm as you make these look very tempting.
(PS – fantastic shots of the river – what’s that black Cthulu like object climbing out of the river, bottom right on the last photo? And why is it the last photo?!)
Thanks Guy, Xyston ranges in 15mm are hard to beat. I think it is just a burnt tree stump, there were bushfires here in 2003 and the whole area was burnt out.
Lovely painted figures, thanks for sharing. I am fighting the urge to build and paint Roman Republican army.
Thanks willz, no worries. All the Victrix Republican Roman sets are great figures. I’m using their cavalry, which have Etruscan helmet options, for my late Etruscans. Here’s a couple of Victrix and Aventine command stands:

Wow. Lovely figures, nicely painted.
Lovely figures, both pictures. Is that center commander raising Mjǫllnir?

Thanks gents. I don’t know about the hammer of Thor but axes were used by the Etruscans! According to the D’Amato & Salimbeti Osprey book, The Etruscans (p.42):
’The axe was mainly replaced by the sword, but it was still a special feature in the Etruscan army. It was employed by infantry and some types of cavalry, and two-handed axes were used by distinct units.’
