Re: Linear A's latest are coming

Bit puzzled with the horse poses for "Hannibal Crosses the Alps Set 2" the same as the Italian horsemen, all galloping into battle which doesn't suit the rather sedate wind swept poses of the riders, I suppose you can always swap them for less energetic horse poses from other sets... but seems like an odd choice considering the subject "Crossing the Alps"...

They're a generic set of horses that orignally appeared for the Alliance 'Historical' Amazons. Without checking it I think some of the more sedately gaited horses from the Zvezda Macedonian Cavalry will fit, because I used those for mounts for the Amazons.

I think I'd be inclined to use the Hat persian horses armoured and unarmoured :wink:

Re: Linear A's latest are coming

Whilst I quite like the look of the figures it occured to me that their unsuitable for what their suppossed to portray, that of cavalry crossing the alps, I think in those conditions they'd simply be killing their horses.. would have been far better if the riders were on foot leading and taking care of their irreplaceable mounts... this is something we dont actually have...just a thought :wink:
