For me you have to respect the "real" size, and produce it at the real scale, so 20 cm. Yes it is big, but so many wargamers are searching for elements for diorama and battletables ! Anyway, i have to say it is a great idea to build a ravenna monument !!

Thank you Andreas to take the time to answer my question... even i still don't know when you will finish the justinian time frame :D ! More seriously, you know how i'm gratefull : you are the last company in the world providing 1/72 figs on ancient eras, and with a marvellous quality ! I'm just quite sad that between the announcement of the covering of an era (in that case it was 2019 if i remember well) on the release of all the sets, maybe eight-ten years will be passed. thank you anyway... I just bought our maximus thrax roman legionnaires, i guess i will wait patiently for the cavalry sets too ;-)

Hello Guys, when are you planning to sell the cavalry sets for the justinian army ? And then i guess goths sets will follow... And last but not least, did you give up about the nika revolt set ?
-
you are right cernief, but i don't get the point of starting a line, producing a third of it and then stopping it, then launching new ones. Or maybe it is simpler than that ; for ontsance justinian era sets didn't reach big sales number, and Linera tried new eras. Sad, but understainable...

i have to say i'm a bit disapointed by Linear A. After the release of the absolutely gorgeous sets of justinian infantry (we waited for so long ! :D), now i see no progress concerning the cavalry or the Goths... Many sets has been produced on other timeframes, is justinian era abandonned ? Please confirm that Nika revolt, the two sets of cavalary and the Goths will be one day reality !

Malheureusement, ces cavaliers n'iront pas tous avec les fantassins de Linear : les boucliers médievaux datent plus du X-XIème siècles. PAr ailleurs, vu de loin, certains habits "bouffants" semblent marquer une période postérieure à celle justinienne. MAsi en achetant toutes les boites, il y a de quoi se faire quelques belles unités avec les figurines ayant le bouclier rond, les casques du VIèeme siècle (il y en a !) et les habits plus antiques. Effectivement, la distinction clibanaires/cataphractaires n'est pas connue des historiens modernes. En réalité il s'agit du même type d'unité, même si la notitia dignitatum les distinguait bien et que les premiers n'ont jamais quitté l'Orient Romain... Les armées de Bélisaire et de Narsès ayant eu comme unités des prisonniers Perses, ou des Perses ayant choisi le camp romain (je me rappelle d'au moins une unité lourde de cavalerie de "Persarméniens" selon Giorgio Ravegnani), ces figurines seront très utiles !

Je vais être sans doute contre-courant, mais je préfère payer plus cher 12 poses que le même prix pour 8. Malheureusement notre hobby a de moins en moins de nouvelles offres de set, particulièrement sur la période antique, je trouve donc tout à fait normal de payer plus cher ce qui est plus rare... Et je pense aussi à tous mes amis wargamers qui utilisent beaucoup la marque Linear, et qui seront frustrés par une baisse du nombre de poses... Pour finir, j'avoue ne pas comprendre pourquoi 4 poses supplémentaires justifie autant d'années de plus de conception... Mais j'imagine qu'il y a une explication rationnelle !
Enfin, comme nous avons la chance d'avoir un dialogue rare, voire unique, avec le fabricant, une dernière question : combien coutent les moules dun set et combien fait-il vendre de boites pour le rentabiliser ?
Merci Andreas et toute l'équipe pour l'extraordinaire travail réalisé ! Chariobaude

My dream : italian, german and french armies from the IX-X-XI centuries. All the middle ages sets, except the normans/saxons and the beautifull "el cid" from Hät, are focused on the later period, unfortunately...

in order of preference: the Ostrogoths, who had an army of heavy horsemen, archers and light infantry, a certain number of which will also be usable as symmachoi of the Byzantines, then the Vandals, who have an army exclusively of heavy horsemen, finally the peoples of the balkans, whose troops are essentially light, on horseback or on foot, rather specialized in skirmishes. From the point of view of diversity and interest, I therefore vote for the Italian campaign of Belisarius and Narses, and therefore the Ostrogoths. The eastern front is interesting, but already covered by Hät in particular...

Hi, this is nice, very nice, but could you engrave a pattern on the shield, in order to make it (much more !) easy to paint ? we have the chance to know precisely the patterns thanks to the mosaic of Ravenna which depicts Justinian and his guards ... Te first is a classic "Chi-Ro" in the foreground, the second in the background is more difficult to describe, without doubt with eight rays, as in many of the motifs that we find in the palatine scholae of the late empire ...


thank you !

I hope to find in this set, alongside Justinien, his wife Theodora of course, but also Belisarius in civilian clothes with his wife Antonia, Narsès the eunnuch in civilian clothes, John the Lydian his treasurer, and above all a few imperial civil servants: for the dioramas we lack high level Roman officials! Some patrician from the great roman families are more than welcome !
