On the painting table - Cataphracts - Kevin O'Kane - 20/02/2021

And cataphracts from the decadent West. Main issue - fixing four to a base. Solved by slight offset between riders. And found the Italeri black wash better than the Citadel equivalent (Nuln Oil). Black wash on horses, brown (earthshade) on riders.

       note that the base depth is 50 mm - allows for a bit more leeway and some of the other cavalry won't fit with 40 mm dept
