I've recently finished a commission for some Sassanid Cataphracts with some great Gripping Beast sculpts. Take a look at the blog for more:

Absolutely beautiful! I hope they don't hurt my Late Romans, their designated victims, too badly. |

Looks great! Thanks for posting. I will be careful sending my Arthurians against them. |

Those look really nice. Not trying to pic on what I do think is really nice, but is the standard bearer holding the standard backwards? |

They look great! Is the purple a historically-attested-to color scheme, or just something you decided to do? |

Thanks for all the comments guy, I'm glad you like them. They do look imposing, its something I really like about the minis. Ah, of course, you are right about the standard. I'm not sure what happened there… In regards to the purple colours there are a few references, but its more inspired by the Sassanid iconography and shield designs. The client and I decided there was some historical backing, but mostly it 'looked good'. :) |
