DBA WIPs

These are a few shots of some armies for DBA that I’m slowly picking away at, the Later Carthaginian DBA box set from Corvus Belli and a couple Greek DBA box sets from Xyston, Athenian 450BC-275BC and Spartan 450BC-275BC (the ones in the photo are from the Athenian set).  The Xyston sculpts are fantastic; I haven’t found anything to complain about concerning the models for these two armies.  The CB sculpts are quite nice as well, but some of the faces lack sufficient detail or are structurally odd (i.e., the skirmisher with the yellow tunic in the photo above) and the pose and anatomy of the Carthage elephant looks unnatural to me.  Regardless, I’d buy them again.

All of these were primed with Holbein Acryla gesso (black).  I’ll be republishing WeeToySoldiers’ article about gesso on this site soon, for those of you who miss or have yet to read it.
