Victrix 28mm Norman cavalry done up as fantasy horse

[Tim Marlow]

As the title says, there are Victrix 28mm Norman cavalry done up as fantasy Rohanesque cavalry. Banner was a product of the excellent Little big man studios. Suffered a lack of mojo during these so they seemed to go on forever. Still, done now, and they look the part ?



All paint by Vallejo, except a couple of Darkstar molten metals for the brass and gold. All mistakes by me ?

Lastly, here is the usual calibration shot with the giant Vallejo bottles I keep just for this purpose…..


Cheers all, hope you like them. All comments and questions welcome as always….

Those are excellent especially at that size. Love the realistic poses of the horses. You're definitely a "master of the mini blokes"

Very kind Jim. Victrix figures are up there with the best at this scale I think. Don’t know about being a “Master” though, just a journeyman I think……

Well done Tim, really love your paintwork ?.
They are even smaller than I thought! Looking forward to your next figures. Cheers

Thanks Steven. Very kind ?. The size is the reason I always put the bottle shot up. If I don’t, someone always asks how big they are ?

These are great, Tim, as always. The horses are lovely - you always get such a clean finish.

Do the individual figures come out of the bases to indicate casualties, or do you put markers on the bases, or some other system?

The outer brown edges are the edges of the trays Paul. There are two trays there. It’s clearest in the first image. The figures are removed to indicate casualties if the rules require it. I have some of them mounted in pairs…..like the calibration shot. No reason, I just had a couple of double sized bases to use up. Movement trays like this just make it easier to move the unit en mass rather than as individual figures.

Cheers Mick. Agreed, Victrix are probably the best out there, closely followed by Perrys.
