I bought a couple f packs (well, some 30+ bases worth...) of the Alan/Sarmatian figures from Khurasan Miniatures recently and I can only say WOW! Great miniatures, very well sculpted and cast, hardly any cleaning at all to do from the looks of them.

Now the problem is a purchase based only on curiosity has snowballed into plans for a complete 800 point Early Alan army. Oh deary me... The upside is I got my painting inspiration back, so I'll paint up a couple of lancer units up to see how they'll look before I take the plunge.

I demand pictures!

They have pictures of most of their Sarmatian range on their website, http://khurasanminiatures.tripod.com/ranges.html

I'm glad to read that you liked them--I'm waiting their Late Imperial Roman range with baited breath

Hehehehe, dude, the word you want is "bated"

"Baited" would be if like you had worms or salmon eggs in your mouth )

Indeed--typos can lead to all sorts of amusing images

I don't get how anybody eats caviar.

I just don't see the difference between Beluga that's priced higher than gold, and the stuff I buy in a jar at the bait & tackle store for three dollars.

sculpting so fast !
nice and many poses

i saw somewhere a request from khurasan, they want to know what new range was expecting by player...

transylvanian !
dracula troops!
eastern horse archer !
lithuanian !

I painted up the first BG of lancers yesterday, I'll be sure to post some pictures when the bases are done.

Hi Fredrik
I did the same with the Khurasan Khurasanians, and bought a 600 point Seljuke army. The pics of the Alans though left me a bit undecided about the horses. The Khurasanians were incredibly well detailed and beautifully modeled so I have a high expectation. Some painted pics would be good.

Thanks for the tip on this manufacturere.

I have been hearing good thinfs.

If they are looking for requests - corner the market, produce dedicated miniatures for the later Medieval Scandanavian armies (particularly the Swedes) - that is all.

I think I remember him saying he had a sculptor doing something in that Scandinavian Medieval thing.....not certain though.
