That's quite the cataphract!  He's certainly very well armored!  I like him taunting the Roman legionaries and I can't wait for what's next! :)

From what I've read about the fighting skills of the Ancient Persians, this guy is "toast" ...  ;D

I think that the Romans might find use for him as a "practice" dummy, Justindo ...  :lol:

Thanks for sharing your splendid custom, WoT! This is a very interesting period of history.

Your very nice custom Cataphract (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cataphract) appears that he might be a Sasanian.

All the best,
Richard

Thank you for all the nice comments!

Eventually I am hoping to blid up a unit of them...
But untill this set reaches US markets I will have to be content with one...

After he comes out I can make a few more cataphracts I think.
He looks like he could make an ok cataphract with all those parts... Might take some customising.

Thank you Playmofire!
Sorry for not telling everyone what a cataphract is when I posted this topic...
I am so into history that I didn't realise there were people who wouldn't know what a cataphract was! ::)
Very sorry, I will fix that next time.

No problem, WarriorOfToys, I'm sure I do the same thing sometimes in my specialist area.  I was just about to look the word up when Richard posted, so he saved me having to do that.

Great custom WOT.  As I'm not really into 'fighting' I wasn't sure what a cataphract was either, but as I scrolled down the photos I mistakenly read "mace attack" as "mice attack" so that gave me completely the wrong idea!! ;D  ;D
