Very nice Figurenmaler1/72.

Yes, I like yours too.

Here is a figure that I never thought I'd have, but I got him in a nice trade:

[[File:Pharao 003.jpg|none|fullsize]]

[[File:Pharao 004.jpg|none|fullsize]]

It is one of the special figures from Caesars Regular Egyptian Chariots. Not painted by me.

Some centaurs :) Guess where from?

If you guessed Arcane Legions, you were correct. :)

Original compared to my work.

Ok, I stand corrected :)

Beautiful Greek skirmishers. I like the stripe down the middle, especially on one of the figures, where you have made a line so precise it borders the impossible. However I don't like the color choices, for historical reasons. Skirmishers were poor, at least I think so, and the color purple was for the rich. I really like the paining of the Macedonian cavalry too. Again color choices, but they look good. The Strelets vikings look good too. I like the Mayans/Incas. I have no idea what color I would paint their skin. I mean what paints I'd need to mix, so good job on that too.

No one will ever discover it! :)

And a Libyan :)

Nicely done. A lot of different sets used for this, and painted with some care. I even noticed some hand painted motifs, which I love when people do. It must have taken you months to make this!

You probably need to ask in the "Linear-A discuss with you" section of the forum, to get their attention.

LINEAR-A diskutiert mit euch! / LINEAR-A discuss with you! / LINEAR-A discuter avec vous! / LINEAR-A discutir contigo! / LINEAR-A discuterà con te!

I hope you'll get a nice explanation. One that doesn't mean you won't get your figures down the line. :)

This is the trouble with announcing many sets, and having different lines of sets.

On the one hand people get excited about the new sets, on the flip side, reality sets in, and you can only produce so many sets in a year, depending on the amount of machines you have course. I understand that Linear-A had an accident happen to their machines, and actually that might still be part of the delay.

Very very nice. I think you've captured the shield color exactly as it should be! Great job!

Not cheap is not an exaggeration. However, I have written you, to reserve some. :)

I have to admit that I find the shields impressively painted, but not very historical. However having somewhat experience in painting shields by hand, what has been done here is not very easy. So hats off to you.

This looks very nice. I like the mix of figures you've used.

It is not about the score given. It is about this paragraph:

Zitat

Special mention must be made of the last two poses. To begin with, only one is mentioned on the box (the first one), while a figure of a man standing with shield resting on the ground does not appear in the set, presumably due to production problems encountered after the boxes were printed. Instead we find the identical pose to figure nine, except that his baton ends with a cobra-head rather than just square like the first legatus or legate. Legates were essentially commanders of a whole legion, but we were not aware that they were usually given, or took, batons or whatever these two figures are holding. Once again, this might reflect their own local custom – we simply do not have enough information on that to contradict what has been modelled here – and in particular we cannot comment on what significance if any is attached to the cobra-head on one pose. It smacks of an emergency 10th pose when something went wrong with the first choice, but that is just speculation. What it does mean is you get fewer figures than the box promises (36 rather than 40), and four legates for 32 soldiers, which is a bit excessive by any standard.

I have added the emphasis.

It would have been VERY simple to look at the forum, and see the explanation. It would have been VERY simple to reach out to Linear-A. Instead they choose to make a conjecture based on nothing...

Btw, Linear-A, since I am now, it would seem, part of the ownership, I'd like some of that sweet sweet money... and greater influence of which sets get available when... and what sets get researched... I could go on... :) :) :)
