Roman ballista and psiloi - posted by Daniel Wade, 19 March 2026

Just finished two ballistas and two Ps. I was not sure what the Ps were meant to look like so went with a generic look.

They look great and a bit like cops from the 70s.

LBM transfers for knights - psoted by Kevin O'Kane, 17 March 2026

LBM transfers for their knights don't come with a sorting hat! So you have to match barding decals with shields...

Heroes in the Hutt - from Alastair Duncan, 17 March 2026

Roving Reporter, Alastair Duncan, wAlastair DuncanClub on Saturday and sent these words and pics.

t was all on in the Hutt in Saturday as Shay Bassett’s English clashed with Phil Gates Venetians, proving English football hooligans don’t always get their way.

Meanwhile, the war in the middle east entered a new phase as Paul Graham’s Pergamene mass of superior psiloi and auxilia saw off Alastair Duncan’s Palymrans. Both armies came out of retiremrnt for the game whuch saw Paul’s Minifigs and Hinchcliffe combo prove more than a match for Alastair’s AandA figures.

Victix knights are very good models but need a little attention - here I've put small card inserts so more than one of the hooves is actually glued to the base! Otherwise way too likely to snap off in use
Paul Compton

I really dont think the eye notices those bits of built-up ground under raised horses' hooves that you see in older castings. Cover it in flock and/or hide it behind a tuft of grass and it's fine.

horses have to be slightly offset to fit on 60mm width (depth here is also 60). Scabbards need to be as vertical as possible.

60mm depth? These are BIG!

But the results are rather pretty.
Julian Hannam

Get out of the way of that lot! Nice work

Fitting Victrix horses to a DBMM base is car parking of the first order, particularly three to a base.

I recommend angle parking and checking each base as you prepare to glue to the front, the rear and both sides against all the other bases you have finished. All edges need to be able to abut.

Trimming the surf board bases sometimes needed for those long striding horses.

Also need to look out for riders arms and legs.

Nice painting and many thanks for the suggestions about basing such big figures.
