Test piece for what will be very much of an oddball unit. The Parthians are said to have used cataphracti on (armored?) camels at the battle of Nisibis in AD 217 by Herodian. Yet there's just a veeery tenuous indication that the Romans used camel borne cataphracts themselves. In a papyrus from AD 300 there's mention of two cataphractarii in Ala II Herculia Dromedariorum. By that point cataphractarius might have just been a rank though. Yet an intriguing idea #wargaming #WarPainter #3rdCenturyAD

Couldn't post pictures for some rason, thus a little belated but anyway:
Finished a base of 3rd century Lanciarii skirmishers. There's much debate as to their actual role, arms and armament. Thus these are just my interpretation based, mostly, on the available figures.

I've finally finished the basing on this unit. Probably my least favourite aspect of the hobby. Especially with those large unit bases. Rather pleased with the results though. Was aiming for a Middle Eastern look. Say Palmyra or Parthia round about the time of Gallienus. Miniatures are a mix of A&A and Aventine Miniatures. Figures still need varnishing... #wargaming #WargamingMiniatures #WarPainter #28mm #3rdCenturyAD
