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 appears that he might be a Sasanian.

All the best,
Richard

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.
