"Pics of Old Glory Byzantines?" Topic

Anyone have any pics of the Belisarian Byzantine figures up?

Obviously these ones aren't too helpful:

And for those interested I found good pics of the Late Byzantine line here (it's just the Belisarian ones I'm looking for):

Sometimes you can find good photos on the OG UK site, but they don't seem to carry the Belisarian line.

The unpainted images in your first link are actually quite informative, if you magnify them a bit. I assume you want 25mm?. FWIW, I have the 15mm Belisarians, and they are decent.

Yeah, all you have to do is click on the picture of each individual set and you'll get a larger image. Doing that brings out a lot of the detail. To my old eyes they look like good sculpts that will do well when painted.

One thing about OG, even the "funky" sculpts paint up quite well, far better than the sculpts appear to be able to.
I have a number of armies from OG25s and an happy with them.

Thanks for the suggestions about magnifying them, but trust me I've squeezed all the information I can out of them.

I have some of their Late Byzantines, the barded and half barded horses are too thin and need replacing, dunno if these are the same horses.

Looking at the unarmoured horses in the pix they are the same as in the Late Roman line, a bit thin but OK.

Most OG figures are OK to good in my experience (I have Late Roman, Arthurians, Late Byzantines, Asiatic tribe & 7YW models). Fwiw I made my Early Byzantines with a lot of late Roman & Arthurian gear so I can use them as either.

My biggest grump with the OG lines are no armoured horse archers which (in most army lists anyway) are the most common early Byzantine heavy. They are surprisiingly hard to find, I used Whitecross for those. They are now sold by SHQ.
