Brilliant painting, some of the best in 15mm I've seen. The ground work on the bases is very good. What product do you use for the grass effect? Keep up the good work.

Thank You. The grass is from: "Woodland scenics:
Turf burnt grass T44"

Very, very nice. These have more detail on them than my 25mm Persians, which is simply not right. Well done indeed.

Beutiful job Menic, especially on the cataphracts which tend to be boring at best.

Great paint! And you are another using a black edge on the basing. I am starting to dig that.

Love this post, and also love Moomin!

Your Parthian army is breath taking. In hindsight, if it were to be painted again, would you still go Essex or would you try a particular brand (I am eying the Forged in Battle new release)?
Would you paint the army the same or bring some modification.
Really splendid work!




This blog is dedicated to ancient and medieval miniature wargaming. I'd like to share pictures of my painted armies and models, self made terrain-pieces and sketches of projects still residing in my head or on a piece of paper.
My main interest at the moment is creating armies and accessories, researching for historical or made-up scenarios and campaigns for the fast-play wargaming rules from "De bellis Antiquitatis" (DBA) with 25mm and 15mm figurines.
I use the blog-format rather unconventionaly. It is more like a scrapbook. And I update the older posts so keep checking. I recommend utilizing the labels to the left. So if your just interested in miniatures click the "Miniatures"-label and you will be presented with posts concerning painting, figurines etc. And don't forget to click on "older posts" at the bottom of the page for more. And many thanks for commenting!
