Xyston adds Parthian cataphracts on horses and camels in 15 mm, note that the camels are more expensive.

Those camels look a bit small.

Those helmets looka bit heavy (as in break your neck to wear them very long)

The helmet bands are far too thick, hence the unrealistic heavy look. At this scale scoring the surface to represent them is enough.

Agree with others too about the camels being too small. The cataphract horses look pretty good to my eyes though.

Has anyone tried to fix those helmets? Perhaps simply filing them down would help. They would be nice figures otherwise. Unfortunately, the designer took the Dura Europos cataphract helmet too literally.
