Hello all,
Even though this site is a bit quite at the moment due to christmas and similar time consuming stuff I was really pleased to see that one of the best miniature companies in the 10mm range just released some Caesarean romans:
These are from Steve Barber - the minis I have from him are brilliant. That roman army just seems more and more needed :-).
Best regards,
Kasper

Steve Barber Models - 10mm Early German Cavalry
Hello all,
Best regards,
Kasper
Next in the line of light or skirmishing cavalry units for Warmaster are these fine Early German mounted warriors from Steve Barber Models. This talented guy produces a smallish 10mm line of very high quality miniatures. Almost too many details on these - a lot of which I struggled to get paint on. But the faces are well defined, the horses are great (some of the best non-heavy horses available) and with just enough variety to make a great unit.
I would really have loved for a "command group" or just a mini that was clearly a leader but alas - this must be one of those communist early german units :-).
As there were only ten models in my pack (standard for Steve Barber Models) I had to add an additional model (one of Pendraken's boring Gaul Cavalry - the one with the bent spear (when will I remember to straighten those out before I snap a picture??)). The result really shows that one can mix and match pretty much any 10mm minis and once they are painted and based no one will spot the difference unless you point it out to them.
Best regards,
Kasper

Warmaster Ancients and Medieval - 10mm Knights and Light Cavalry
Hello all!
This is the (as yet very unfinished) main page for my painted Knights and Light Cavalry - a register of brand, type and what they are normally used as.
Also, of course, they will be accompanied by a photo taken in my "photostudio". All pictures are of course clickable which allows viewing them in larger sizes :-).

Knights
Will be arriving soonish...
Light Cavalry
Brand: Kallistra
Type: Mounted Sergeants Hundred Years War
Type: Mounted Sergeants Hundred Years War
Other Information: Excellent models with a superb amount of detail - especially the horses are great whereas the faces might be the weakest part of these models. I think the shields worked great and they are a pleasure to field.

Type: Chaos Maurauder Horsemen
Type: Chaos Maurauder Horsemen
Other Information: Excellent models with a superb amount of detail. Some of the best 10mm available.
Even though this is a fantasy unit it is often used in my armies as any type of light cavalry - especially of the barbaric nature for which their savage appearance is well suited.

Brand: Steve Barber Models
Type: Early German Cavalry
Other Information: A really nice unit from the talented Steve Barber - only ten models and no leader-types though. But more detail than you can shake wet paint at and looks really mobile once painted and based.Type: Early German Cavalry
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brand: Kallistra Miniatures
Type: Armoured Cavalry Normans
Other Information: Great minis - as always form Kallistra - with great horses, positions and excellent shields. A pleasure to paint and they look great as "heavy" normal cavalry.Type: Armoured Cavalry Normans
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other Information: Uninteresting minis - single pose, few details and fat short horses.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brand: Obelisk Miniatures
Type: Conquistador Caballeros
Other Information: Great minis - looks very knight-like. They have a separate right arm that comes with either a sword or a lance, giving great variety. Suffers from a lack of noticeable detail (pennants or some such thing) and a larger than normal right arm. Works great as "heavy" light cavalry (e.g. Teutonian Light Horses)Type: Conquistador Caballeros

Warmaster Ancients and Medieval - 10mm Infantry Units
Hello all!
Brand: Games Workshop
Type: Empire Halberdiers
Other Information: They look great on the battlefield but are a boring nightmare to paint. Definately not the best of Games Workshops 10mm range but they do look imposing once fielded.
Brand: Kallistra Miniatures
Type: Continental Pikemen from the War of the Roses
Other Information: Not the best from Kallistra but they do look imposing (especially when their pikes are not bent in all directions...)
Brand: Kallistra Miniatures
Type: Scottish Pikemen from the 100 Years War
Other Information: Very nice pikemen from Kallistra - modelled in three stances - passive, aggressive and one in between giving a very dioramic finished unit. Highly recommended - and their pikes are small enough not to bend every second.
Brand: Steve Barber Miniatures
Type: German Warband
Other Information: One of my favourite warbands. The minis are brilliant although a bit on the tiny side and a bit brittle at the legs.
Brand: Magister Militum Miniatures
Type: Gothic Infantry and Goth Skirmishers
Other Information: Used as any kind of warband-type infantry. A bit boring minis but I am happy how they turned out in the end. These were bought on Ebay and the leader is from some other product line.
Brand: Pendraken
Type: Late Roman, Unarmoured, standing, spear
Other Information: The shields have transfers from Little Big Men.
Brand: Magister Militum Miniatures
Type: Early Sarmatian Infantry (and viking commanders)
Other Information: Used as any kind of warband-type infantry. A bit boring minis (two poses) but I am satisfied with how they turned out in the end. These were bought on Ebay and the command group are from their viking line.
Type: Empire Handgunners
Other Information: Used as any type of missile units. Great minis with a ton of detail and plenty of poses.
Brand: Magister Militum
Type: LME005 14/15th Century Crossbowmen with Pavisse
Other Information: Quick and easy to paint and look great on the field. Few details and only one pose.
Brand: Magister Militum
Type: LME005 14/15th Century Crossbowmen with Pavisse
Other Information: Quick and easy to paint and look great on the field. Few details and only one pose.
Brand: Games Workshop
Type: Empire Handgunners
Other Information: Used most often as skirmishing infantry due the commando-like bases. These were my first conversions and attempt at building more diorama like bases in 10mm. The commanders pegleg is a toothpick while the snake is the tail of a 28mm plastic Skaven. Very fantasy like bases but they do add a bit of charater to the skirmishing line.
Brand: Games Workshop
Type: Empire Flagellants
Other Information: Used as either skirmishing infantry or a warband of the more mad type - that will always try to charge if possible.
Brand: Eureka Miniatures
Type: Halfling Militia
Other Information: Used as Skirmishing Infantry due to their tiny size (propably more 6mm than 10mm). This is the more combat orientated Militia unit - the pack from Eureka contains 30 minis both with hand-to-hand weapons and bows. I used these to make two different units, one with msot of the bows and one with a more close fighting focus.
Brand: Eureka Miniatures
Type: Halfling Militia
Other Information: Used as Skirmishing Infantry due to their tiny size (propably more 6mm than 10mm). This is the "ranged" part of the figure pack.

This is the "family shot" of the army last time it was out in all its glory - many of the units below were (re-)painted after this though:
Brand: Kallistra
Other Information: Brilliant minis and a pleasure to paint. As always with Kallistra they are probably closer to 12mm than 10mm but they have a ton of detail and plenty of poses so are a pleasure to paint. They form the central unit in my crusading army, with their distinct crosses they serve as a pleasant fokus point of the army.
