(Commander - hipparchos of an "hipparchia" Agema Regiment with 512 horsemen or an "Ile" with 64 - an "epilarchia" with 128 or "tarantinarchia" with 256 men)
Thinkable also for the Seleucides Agema units ! Note - more saddle details coming soon.

TRIPTYCK
'Carthago delenda est.'
the roman eques Has interesting boots indeed.
also the hellenistic cavalry officer, the helmet looks too italian does'n it?
William Wallace (Braveheart Mel Gibson Face study)....one of my medieval Figures.
Spartacus (Kirk Douglas Face Study)
I hope, we can see the historian Slave revolts of Sicily and the famous Spartacus revolt with real historian units like heardsmen - slaves from the hills, germanic styled surviving Kimbern and Teutones and please no again unhistorical gladiator units for the slaves. We know - Gladiators fight in closed formations for the romans, but with legionary weapons.

Looks great Andy,
Only the spears look a bit unfinished but that is just me nitpicking..
A few things - save for that comic, I have never seen a hat such as that. Most images, if they show a hat, show a Phrygian style hat.
The cloak - that is a very Celtic pattern. Not early Germanic.
The spears' texture is very unfinished. There is no edge to it (no shine).
I'm not a fan of the face either, really. Sorry, I just don't think its that great.
Keep up the art lads I'm really impressed, CA need to open their eyes and look to take some off you on haha
