Re: Carthaginian Sacred Band

WOW! Thanks a million HaT-Twitter!
They're even better than I remembered.

Re: Carthaginian Sacred Band

Nice pieces. Once again I'm impressed by how much more responsive and informative you are. Put these back on the catalog pages, I beg you. A lot of people would like to see them in production. I know I'd buy aw boxes for the army I'm putting together!

Re: Carthaginian Sacred Band

Wow! What great figures. I would sure like some of those.

Re: Carthaginian Sacred Band

Now those guys look good. I have been putting together and painting my Carthaginian army. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on and painting those guys.

Re: Carthaginian Sacred Band

What did you guys think about the Carthaginian Veterans set?

Re: Carthaginian Sacred Band

I very much like the sculpting and mix in the veteran set which are ideal for Cannae in the second Punic war and onward.

The unreleased Sacred band could be used for many First Punic war scenarios and early second including including as citizen settlers in the Iberian peninsula and the final days of Carthage.

I would be very happy to see these gentlemen roll into production.

Getting the anatomical proportions of the sculpture right is really important for me. I can fudge small inaccuracies with paint or a knife, but there's not much to do to correct for oddly proportioned bodies.

The Veterans are in a short and chunky figure style which is common with some other companies - particularly Strelets, which is why I own no Strelets - but unusual for HaT. I think the leaner style of the Sacred Band is a more accurate representation of human anatomy which is a big reason I'm very impressed by them. In style, they remind me of HaT's Macedonian Hypaspists, which I think is one of the best ancient sets any company has ever produced.

I like them. Might have to buy more sets once I get to painting the carthaginian army. The sacred band would
make all collectors of ancients really happy. Sadly, the new offers of ancients are almost non-existent.

Re: Carthaginian Sacred Band

I like them (Carthaginian Veterans) very much. They fit better with my old 25s than do many other sets.

Re: Carthaginian Sacred Band

The Veteran set is a great set, but what I find with ancients is that separate shields work best, such as Hat's Imperial Roman Legions. Some poses with shields cast on can sometimes look flat or awkward.

Re: Carthaginian Sacred Band

Those are beautiful figures. I painted 3 or 4 boxes. Easy to paint and they looked great when finished.

Fantastic figures, I'd buy them.
