We have just added the first 2 packs of a 3 packs set created by Adam as an Emperor's procession. The first 2 packs are the Emperor on horseback with a mounted standard bearer and a mounted musician. The second pack has 3 foot figures, one in armour carrying a winged victory another in clerical clothing holding a holy book and the third with a heavy cross. The third pack not quite ready yet will have 4 guards advancing. The three packs are intended to make up the procession but will prove useful by themselves. The Emperor is clean shaven making him suitable for the early period up to around mid 6th century when they started sporting beards.

In reckon these will be rather bigger than my Hinchcliffe 25mm Byzantines!

    Vincent Cholewa True that. Wonderful sculpts but on occasion some of the figures are 32mm and beyond. I would be very cautious when mixing with other ranges or even within their successor ranges.
