CP Miniatures 28mm Sumerian Spearmen

Just finished this very fine Sumerian spear unit. I have based in 2 per stand to allow more flexible use. Rather than usual Impetus style I have gone for 3 rows which I think looks very effective as a spear block when only using 12 men. Usual Army Painter wash. Other unit seen for comparison is from Newline Designs. The CP Miniatures. Really stand out. Chariot Rampant will be visiting Sumeria soon.

  2. Your Sumerian spear block looks splendid! I am not familiar with CP Miniatures but, perhaps, I should be!

  3. Excellent Sumerian spearmen Colin! How do they compare size wise to the Cutting Edge figures?

  4. Thanks guys. Cyrus..They tower over Cutting Edge and compare like dad with children. However the chariots due to imager and cab size surprisingly mix well.

  5. Imager should read Onager. That predictive text again!!

  7. Ch'ti Eric. Cheers. They stand taller than Foundry and are more chunky. I will be using Foundry in separate units. Although careful mixing would probably work. They just look so good I like them on their own. I prefer them to Foundry due to lovely size. Foundry are still of course amazing sculpts and finer sculpted. The crouching spear will mix however very well with Foundry. I do not have any Black Tree yet...but they should go very well with them.

  10. ok thanks,
    Foundry ones are smaller at the start of the production of the cie. Not 28mm of today so they can be mixable with Black Tree i think which are like the Foundry Viking or artizan ones.
