My favorite 15mm -18mm figures to work,paint and play with are by Xyston, Essex miniatures are ok, love to paint their cavalry range figures and some of their infantry. Essex figures are very smooth sculpt and sometimes difficult to paint them, where as Xyston miniatures are the best sculpted ancient figures I ever seen with lots of detail and paint up extremely well.....<br /><br />cheers,Phil Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02369365598439913360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521207674659027649.post-53826974165312803092014-07-29T02:50:42.440-07:002014-07-29T02:50:42.440-07:00They sure do look great Phil!
