Seems like a lifetime ago I sculpted my first 10mm figures for the Late Roman range. Actually my first ever figures. I've always meant to add to the range, but life got in the way and other projects took priority.
This year Leon suggested we finally add some opposition, so for the last few weeks I've been blitzing on these new Gothic figures. They could work for a lot of other Germanics from the 3rd to 6th centuries.
So here they are; three packs of horse and five packs of foot. Hope you like them. If these do well we may discuss adding other opposition for the Late Empire.

Wow, you are an evil man - but a sculptor of sheer GENIUS! Temptation - now, some additional Sassanids, and maybe some Sarmatians,  that would be something!

Some 'noble' armoured & helmeted Gothic cavalry on half-armoured horses would also complete the range.
They are, however, as always, beautiful sculpts - well done.

Oh wow!

Not expecting these - but really lovely!

Could well see buying some of these (I'll not mention the big pile of Late Romans who haven't got to the front of the queue in over 10 years...)

Mmm, a long-needed range, and very tasty they look. Request - one reads of a very distinctive Gothic shield type (last on the right below) used by the foot (and counter-claims that it never existed)....

I am aware of at least one respected military historian that thinks that the 'coffin' shields are a misinterpretation of a particular carving/sculpture. I'll see if I can find that reference & post here.

I know they aren't universally accepted.

I agree, and I have them in my collection of 15mm Goths, to differentiate between differing gothic contingents in the same force.
