Out of nowhere- New Goths

[Big Insect]

Some on Ponies/Small horses for the earlier ones.  No beards (deliberate scarring is documented?)  Some shaved heads.  Sword side arm. No stirrups.   

Was artificial cranial deformation also practiced by Hunnic tribes? (although in 10mm that might be a bit pointless)

The 'hun' range could also be extended to include the Hephthalite Huns (more Sassanian/central Asian steppe looking) and Xiongnu (early cataphract and armoured lancer types) - as a thought.

I wasn't aware of that image as evidence for gothic shields, my understanding was this was the main support (the weapons in the lower two panels);



This must be the imfamous Funcken; the pattern on the shield is pretty clearly taken from the diptych, but I am not sure how they got that shape. Personally I tend to be pretty cautious of reconstructions if they are more than 20 years old anyway.


My feeling is though that hexagonal shields were possibly used in the earlier years, say the early 3rd century, but the figures need to work well into the 6th century. Given that I had to make an either/or choice, I went with round shields.
This discussion accords with what BI writes- http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=185238
Some conversions with looted Roman gear are a possible addition in the future.

Stop it!
I've been trying very hard not to ask that question!

[Gwydion]

I didn't mean it!
Any idea of the likely date to go on sale?

It'll likely be 2025 at this point, I'm still working on our March/April projects!

Some of these figures will make excellent additions to my Saxon armies for Arthurian Britain.
