This one looks like it could be nice link ; I like the author's artwork and suppositions on his website. Dean P.S. Weird thing is when I went to the "search inside" link, it shows the book with artwork from a previously released Spartan or Hoplite book. |

Ah, dude TMP link I did a search for the title… |

Hi Dean! Didn't the same artist do the cover of the Hannibal book? |

Not enough pink in the kilts. See Yadin. |

Didn't the same artist do the cover of the Hannibal book? That and a bunch of others link – including box covers for 1:72nd it appears. Dean P.S. the belated messenger is slain; please let him RIP  |

"Didn't the same artist do the cover of the Hannibal book?" Just twist that knife… |

Allen, Thats a little harsh don't you think. If it will make you feel better. "I'm sorry" :.^( |
| TESTUDO | 10 Dec 2010 3:17 a.m. PST |
Wich "Hannibal book" you mean, Rellik? |
| Scutatus | 10 Dec 2010 8:51 a.m. PST |
It would be Allen's own offering. Hence the "twist the knife" comment. I don't believe Allen is a fan of the artist Giuseppe Rava, having criticised his accuracy before now. That would be rather unfortunate since Giuseppe's art is on the front cover of Allen's Hannibal. Although I personally don't see what could be wrong with that particular example. But perhaps I am blind. link link Interestingly Giuseppe has done the covers for most of WAB's supplements. If one is not a fan, that could be an irritant. :) |

Mr. Rava: I like your artwork – very vibrant and lively. I loved the paintings you did for the Ancient Warfare issue with the Seven against Thebes article. Respects, Dean P.S. I am getting that Osprey. P.P.S. With all due respect, though, what is your reference for those branches/twigs in the helmet on warrior on the far left of the cover? |
| TESTUDO | 10 Dec 2010 9:47 a.m. PST |
It would be worrying if my art pleases everyone.
Someone could think I'm paying them   Thanks for debating,
G.Rava |

Never worked for Ancient Warfare magazine, sorry. As a military illustrator who paint from Bronze age to Vietnam war, I tell you I' m not allowed to discuss the sources of the authors, I paint what they ask for and then approve. Obviously I would refuse to give an RPG to a Micenean….I would refuse?…… what' s the fee? Thanks for your kind words DeanmMoto |

Ooops, sorry, it was Igor Dzis – very similar styles. Got it on the author's confidentiality – I should be able to find out once I get that book Regards, Dean |

Mr. G. Rava, What are you doing on TMP? Do you play with little men too?

Since I was a child, I paint, sculpt, play with these and probably large part of my art is due to these.
Fortunately never been in a real war

Probably, closest thing to going to war is havin' a game with Allen! Say, where is Allen. Hope all is well… |

Some very interesting art there, make me quite curious to look a little deeper into this period! |
| Keraunos | 31 Mar 2011 9:06 a.m. PST |
can anyone review the content of this at all? |
| colin knight | 01 Apr 2011 1:43 a.m. PST |
I have just bought one. should arrive by weekend. |
| colin knight | 04 Apr 2011 3:36 p.m. PST |
So far I love the art work and very inspiring for anyone into the period. Seems well researched to me. A very visually appealling book. |
| DeanMoto | 20 Jun 2011 8:15 p.m. PST |
I just got my copy this evening. I'm very, very happy with the purchase (via Amazon.com). IMO, there are a lot of color images in the book, not just the beautiful illustrations, but of actual artifacts. More color images than most Ospreys, I think. Also, I think that the cover image probably was not the best in the book – there are a lot more illustrations that would probably have been a better choice for the over art (the Chia head helmet doesn't draw the best criticisms).
