Re: Carthaginian Sacred Band

What did you guys think about the Carthaginian Veterans set?
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.
