Title: Early Byzantine Torsion Engine/Bolt Thrower
Post by: Atheling on 21 December 2024, 03:02:41 PM
Aventine Miniatures Byzantine Torsion Engine/Bolt Thrower is nicely matted down and based.

There is some discussion of the palette and many more pics on my blog here:

28mm as you well know.

In as far as I'm aware there are no rules about the scale in the Wider Wargaming None-Pendraken Stuff part of the forum?

Are these sarcastic comments something to do with the painting style or is it something else?

You're not under attack. The painting is impressive, so I pretended that it was even more amazing. I'm sorry if it came across as hostile; that was certainly no part of my intention.

I am sure they were intended to express genuine admiration, and make a joke at the same time, but not at your expense!  The painting is simply magnificent, on very impressive sculpts.  I fear that sometimes our forum can seem a very strange place.

What kitty said!

Not attacking your skill, just hyperbole in claiming it is even better that the fantastic job you have done.
