Re: re tooled Dacians

very good work i want them

Re: re tooled Dacians

They look the absolute business, is there a possibility of giving the falxmen a ring hand and substitute weapons (swords and axes) so that they could be used as non-Dacians- obviously, the falx is so distinctive.

Re: re tooled Dacians

Altogether a big improvement with the exception of the majority of the dacian caps, which is too gnome like in my opinion.. these should come down to the ears not perch on top of the head and the floppy top should lay much flatter and futher back on the head improving this will make a big difference to the look of the figures.....there are many images from Trajans coloumn showing this....

Re: re tooled Dacians

According to some sources, hats were a mark of the nobility in some tribes, so perhaps there are a few too many anyway.
Ring hands is a nice idea, but won't be too hard to substitute spears.

Re: re tooled Dacians

"so perhaps there are a few too many anyway"

I would agree with that, there are not so many hats shown on trajans coloumn, and the king if it is indeed he has a conical hat....
Mid length hair seems to be the norm....

WOW LOOK SHARP WINTER ROMANS TOO

What a great week this is.

re WINTER ROMANS

And it looks as though at least some of them have CURVED shields!!! Still slightly too flat, but a big improvement! Hey Strelets! - Any chance of fitting a couple of extra shields on the sprue so that we can retrofit to some of the earlier Roman figs? Please?

Re: re WINTER ROMANS

Some of them look like they have extra heavy armor. Very exciting! I can't wait to get this set.

Re: WOW LOOK SHARP WINTER ROMANS TOO

yes very good masters
but now we need
-cavalry winter dress (6 at rest and 6 charging)
and...........

Re: WOW LOOK SHARP WINTER ROMANS TOO

Dear GG,

anything is possible these days, at least, the Roman line isn't exausted yet.
Best regards,

Strelets
