Here are a few comparison shots with the Victrix horse archers, various other metal Parthian horse archers, the Gripping Beast plastic Parthian cataphracts and various other metal Parthian cataphracts. I actually like a mix of ranges and size of figures in my armies, there's obviously much greater variation in human and horse sizes than the difference between 28mm and 25mm!

Parthian Cataphracts

 

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.
