The pose of the horse and also the painting are amazing!! 10/10

 

[Wigdog]

Really like Vercingetorix and that large horse sculpt is awesome!

 

[Gennady Danshin]

Marvellous fantasy figures
The horse warrior is one from Rohan`s riders ?
"Vercingetorix" confused is not from 52 BC, but, maybe, from 452 BC? But without helmet "wings" only

The nose on that horse just doesn't look right to me-is the head to small compared to the very bulky body?, just an observation I'm no equestrian expert!

Think you are right Keith

The horse is rather fantasy style, perhaps right out of Lord of the Rings

Like them both.
But i have to agree about the horse. The muscles and the head looks a little to fancy.

I may be wrong but I think with both figures, the sculpter is using liberal artistic licence to exaggerate nature and history to near-fantasy. If this was the intent, job well done. That is one muscular and scary horse... test for steroids after the race!

Though historically inaccurate and overblown, I still think these are interesting and fun pieces.

Here is historically true reconstruction of Viking on horseback, X Cent. AD:

Both are fantasy, but both are also awesome! That mounted figure would be a must have f I didn't like to eat

I love the viking on the warhorse, it exudes style and power in a very menacing pose. It may not be historically correct but that doesnt worry me.

Is there a special reason for hating Andrea so much in this particular forum?

I really love both of the figures. Specially the mounted viking. I have to agree the head looks a little small but I think it was meant to emphasise the size of the body. If I had that kind of money, I'd buy it for sure!

 

[Meehan34]

wow! I must have that mounted Viking. That is so awesome.

It's not Andrea, it is the fantasy fiction part.

Even older, Gennady. It's a mixture of bronze age equipment (ca 1000 BC) and pure fantasy.
