Above are some Parthian cataphracts that I've just finished painting. These are Gripping Beast plastics, the same set as their Late Roman cataphracts but with different heads.
Earlier in the week we did a short overnight walk in the Snowy Mountains National Park. Below are a few photos of our walk from Dead Horse Gap to Teddy's Hut and back. There was a bit of excitement when we had a close encounter with a red belly black snake near the aptly named Boggy Plain. The weather was nice but we did have rain and a thunderstorm rolled in on the afternoon and evening of the first day.

DeleteFabulous mate, I have not done a snowy walk for 20 odd years, great to see the brumbies out and about.
ReplyDeleteGreat work on the cataphracts, the Gripping Beast miniatures are really nice to paint.
Cheers

Thanks Matt, yes there’s still plenty of them up there. I like the GB plastics, not as nice as Victrix but usually pretty easy to paint.
