Problem with Xyston is that they’re really beefy 18mm figures. Lovely castings, but don’t mix with others well (Museum are also in the same vein)... P What is your problem with beefy? I like to consider myself beefy, possibly full mixed grill actually. I doubt I could fit four of you on a 40x30mm base, Baldie. (Even one would be a struggle.) |

I have a DBA army using Xyston and you can fit 4 cataphracts on a standard 40x30 base. There is a pic on line somewhere; I'll see if I can find it. The figures were painted and based for me by Phil Hart who ran a painting service called hart of war; sadly he passed away a few years ago.

First, apologies for duplicating my earlier message. Phil Hart's website still exists and you can find it by searching for hartofwar.co.uk; I got to it by searching on hartofwar painting service. Once you get to the site type parthian in the search box and scroll down and you'll quickly come to two pics of my Parthian cataphracts. By the way, the search box is tiny; you'll find it on the top left of the screen. Good hunting!

But I found them on his blog here:

That's the ones, the very ones; thanks snowcat. Phil Hart also painted and based a couple of elements of Xyston Seleucid cataphracts but I'm not sure if there is a pic.

That has me sold! It’s got to be Xyston! If I didn't already have both Essex and FiB, I'd be very tempted too. |

Yeah if I was doing Parthians, I'd pick the Xyston figures. There's a lot to like about them.
