begins his series on how to paint a 15mm DBA army well, in a reasonable time frame.
Ever since we brought you our splendid Sarmatian Cataphracts, we've been planning more Sarmatian cavalry to add to your Dacian armies. We now release two new sets of horsemen – Sarmatian Light Cavalry and Sarmatian Horse Archers, expertly painted by Andres Amian Fernandez.
The first of these two new releases are the Light Cavalry. Armed with spears, shields and bows, they are a very flexible troop type. The upper bodies are separate from the legs, giving plenty of variety in your regiment. This set also comes with a variety of sword scabbards, quivers, etc.
You can buy the Sarmatian Light Cavalry in two ways. Firstly, as a pack of three mounted models for £8.00 GBP, or as a regiment of six models for £15.00 GBP, saving you £1.00 GBP.
Following hot on the hooves of the Light Cavalry are these lovely Sarmatian Horse Archer miniatures. Giving your Sarmatian or Dacian army highly maneuverable firepower, they'll be a very valuable troop type for you.
As with the Light Cavalry, the upper bodies are separate from the legs, so you can position these bow-armed horsemen (and women!) as you see fit.
You can pick these lovely miniatures up as either a pack of three mounted models for £8.00 GBP, or a regiment of six for £15.00 GBP, saving £1.00 GBP.
If the new cavalry miniatures have you wanting to start a new Dacian army, you're going to need some of the miniatures below!
The core of any Dacian army are the warrior regiments. Containing Dacians armed with all manner of hand weapons, including the lethal falx war-scythe, it's not hard to see how the Dacians gave the Roman military a bloody nose or two.

three plastic sprues to make 40 Dacians
one metal chieftain
six metal heads wearing Phrygians
four metal noble heads

Undoubtedly the most impressive element of the Dacian army are the heavily armed and armored cataphracts. Wielding their long kontos spear from atop their barded war horses, these heavily armored cavalrymen can sweep all before them. Providing shock cavalry for your Dacian army or acting as auxiliary cavalry in your Roman army, these riders will make a mess of most things in their path…
