These were from the Khurasan Sung Chinese range and were, to my eye, modeled by a different sculptor as the figures are slightly rounder in stature, but height-wise they fit in nicely with the rest of the Tibetans:
The only issue with these are that the rules call for them to be mounted on a 40mm x 40mm base, but there was no way I was squeezing on of these onto something that small so went with 40mm x 60mm instead. The frontage is the main thing, so hopefully that should be easy to work around:
Nice models, although all the figures appear to be standing around waiting for something to happen. Hopefully they will be a little more active when they are in the heat of battle.
That's the artillery component finished, now on to some allied nomadic cavalry.
Really nice looking war machines Lawrence , and as you say, it's the frontage that matters...or does it, REALLY?!
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith. In this case size does matter as DBMM is probably the most geometric wargame I have ever played, which does feel a little strange at times.
DeleteA fine pair of models you have, Lawrence!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan. They were actually much easier to complete than I thought they would be.
DeleteImpressive and gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteCheers Phil, they are certainly a big presence compared to other 15mm ancient artillert.
DeleteLovely looking pair of stone throwers!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain, they came together nicely.
DeleteThey look super, Lawrence. Of course you had to have a couple of such unusual items in your army, especially when there are models as nice as these out there!
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter, and I have to say that their uniqueness and the way they have been sculpted was the determining factor.

ReplyDeleteGreat stuff mate. I see you got spammed by Maria too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mark. She appears to have been quite busy today, although I'm glad that things appear to have worked out for her and her husband by virtue of the link she provided.
DeleteWhich I didn't actually click on, I hasten to add.
