Palmyran Cataphracts in 15mm...

[OhReally]

Looking to get a wave of these painted up, does anyone know of a good distributor? I will only buy from companies whose models I can see pictures of, I consider ones to lazy to snap a shot with a digital camera to be scrubs and I'm not dealing with ordering one pack to see if they suck.

Thanks for all the help.

I have a bunch of Essex ones but I will say that the model they label "Palmyran Cataphract" is a bit pants.

I wound up buying a mixture of Roman Clibanarii, Byzantine Kataphraktoi and Cataphract Camel riders and if memory serves there might even have been some leftover Sarmatians in there. All Essex too.

It's a nice mix and while there's the odd blip in terms of shields and bow cases, it does the job quite nicely.

Cheers,
Alex

I'm also an OG fan. A number of their figures now have pictures online, as Madcam pointed out. I'm really happy to see that.

Sadly no photos, but I rather like the Minifigs Palmyran cataphracts - have a DBA army with these, biggish horses so a bit of a squeeze on a 40x30 base. The Chariot ones have a nice rider, but the horse is small - as with most Chariot ancients theyve taken the wisdom about how small horses used to be a bit too far in my view. I do have a base of Chariot cataphract riders on Minifigs horses, a very nice combination but not worth the price of 2 figure packs to achieve this!

I've got photos of some of the Essex cataphracts and other Palmyran stuff here if that helps.

If you look at the other Hellenistic and Roman gallery pages you may find a few more as well ?
