Thanks for your kind words Richard.
Byzantine times  is a very inspiring theme and involves many armies
so I will try to create more of the byzantine troops.

I will add some fantasy to the historical research so some of the byzantine troops may look like these:

Thanks Flash
I often wonder why this period is neglected? It sure offers many civilizations/armies/themes opportunities.
I sure have seen many armies here that can fight my Byzantines lol
Cant wait to see Ralf getting involved ;-)

Here are some imperial guards
suggestions remarks are as always welcome ;-)

Wonderful custom. What about a civil war: West-roman-empire against east-roman-empire?

Title: Re: Byzantine Empire
Post by: pastifi on March 19, 2007, 01:13:22 AM

Then I would need Gaius great army and mine is not strong enough yet ;-)

Maybe my heavy Kataphraktoi will help me?

Thanks my friends

 Gaius said:   but ur men are beautiful, mayb my Romans will throw away their weapons 

Gaius in that case then we could play board games:   Astragalos, Tali & Tropa (Knucklebones),  Tesserae (Dice), Latrunculi (Roman Chess) ,  Terni Lapilli ( Tic-Tac-Toe),  Tabula (Roman Backgammon) ;-)

@Dan the icon shield is a decal picture of 1/72 byzantine army magnified and then printed in label adhesive paper ;-)
Does anyone have any idea what better paper can we use?

I want a more glossy look like playmobil shields

Best regards

Panos

Post by: JowshCalaber on May 20, 2007, 05:05:15 PM

Grand creations!!
They are really creative and ingenious, I am charmed with them!
Wherefrom do shields come?

Title: Re: Byzantine Empire
Post by: pastifi on June 18, 2007, 12:36:07 PM

Thank you my friends,
For Gaius and all that wonder,
The Velisarius amd Italian shields are both of Revel warriors of the World  toy figures,
I only have a good eye for detail and transform them with playmobil shield handles.
Guess i am not a politicaly correct customizer lol

There are some of the best things I have seen in a long while - I loved the Rus coming down the river to trade (or perhaps join the Varangian Guards) and the background pictures make it all so much better.
