Back to 'Second Chance City'
Here is another of 4Ground's splendid 'Dead Man's Hand' buildings. Apologies for the poor quality photograph - I'm using Linda's little 'point and shoot' camera, which doesn't do very well at this sort of thing! I'll replace the photo once I get my new camera.

Roman Cataphracts
Long-time followers of this blog will know that there have been two things I've been moaning about being unavailable for my third century Roman army - equites sagittarii and equites cataphractarii. In the past few weeks, Aventine Miniatures have released a fair variety of cataphractarii and contarii for their 'Early Imperial Roman' range (which is aimed primarily at the mid-late 2nd century). …
