Sadly alright, no sooner than I found out they even existed they stopped the range. I still have some bottles towering over the tiny containers put out by other manufacturers who seem intent on trying to out compete the ink cartridge industry for the most expensive fluid on earth.

Glad to hear your putting your quiet time in the smallest room in the house to good use.
A couple of awkward poses, but hey, that's all part of the charm of toy soldiers!

Long ago, while I was attempting to paint a group of historical opponents (Babylonians, Assyrians, Elamites, Egyptians), some of my musings while painting turned to campaigning and losses.
I don't recall where the idea came from but one thought to keep sides at twelve elements (if that's actually desirable) for every battle was to allow all losses during the season to be made up with horde. No idea if this is fair, but seemed like it could be a bit of Assyrian style fun since all the armies have at least one knight chariot, usually a general. At least in whatever version of the rules I had at the time.

Great work!
The ancient Italians need every advantage than can get to keep those damned Roman's out.

Blue Moon? It looks like a nice range.
Judging by their fancy pants and coats their good at their craft and well compensated. Not exactly great for an Italian summer, I imagine, but sometimes sacrifices must be made for the sake of fashion.

It's worth placing an order for the pack donkeys alone! A string of good pack donkeys are almost a universal camp element.

It must've been cool in the "Olden Days" to be the only kid on your block with a straddle car! The wind in your hair and to hear da lamentations of da wymin and all that.
Look like excellent sculpts. I also look forward to seeing some painting to match and some reviews from those who decided to delve deep into history.

Always enjoyed it, but stopped working on my computer one or more computers ago.
Curse you Change, and the horse you rode in on!

I have the Essex DBA Etruscan army somewhere, as mentioned already, perhaps best to check their website for what figures they use before purchase because they aren't always what one might think is the best choice. Also, they are quite short and stout, fine for a tea pot but maybe not to everyone's taste. Perhaps more for the end of the period than the begining are the War & Empire/ Forged in Battle Etruscans and Italians. forgedinbattle.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=126_161_137

When I can see the whites of their eyes I know it's time to go back to boardgames.

Now that is some classy work!
I have more Essex figures than any other manufacturer, but at times I start to think the seem a bit old and tired. A good reminder of what a quality effort can make of a simple but well sculpted figure.
Thanks!

Warmaster Chaos Dragon with rider. The foot figures look like some old old Elves, a lot like some mixed fantasy figures I've seen before. If I were to take a punt, I'd say, maybe, Martian Metals.

Looks excellent! Yet more of your work I mean to emulate, one day.
Combines pretty, for that panoramic view of the battlefield, with practical, removal of clutter while the troops get down to imaginary street fighting.
