I've seen the Parthian range made by Peter Pig and like the look of them, has anybody else used them and what do you think of the quality?
Also would they be suitable for Palmyran Cataphracts?

They are very nice, and would do for any similar Eastern cats IMO. It's hard (impossible) to imagine anyone having a problem with you using them as Palmyrans...

How do they compare sizewise with Donnington's Palmyrans?

They are on the small size. 4 Cataphracts fit comfortably on a base, with no overlapping at the knee.
I'd say if you are going to mix, try before you buy. I'd say they are too small to mix with Donnington
But, they are nice with lots of variety
thanks

I've got a load of the Parthians to use as Indo-Skythians.
Donnington do tend to be bigger than most others.
With Peter Pig the men are "normal sized" (slightly bigger than Essex) but the horses "small"...perhaps perfectly realistic in this but much smaller than Essex Clydesdales.
The horses are less defined than many manufacturers (but not really an issue with cataphracts) and certainly less detailed than the men.
