I first encountered Corvus Belli just under a year ago when I literally "stumbled" across their website. I'm very glad that I did as it was one of the best and most colourful figure sites I'd ever seen. Owner, Fernando Liste, had obviously gone to great lengths to ensure that his miniatures were painted and presented to the very highest standards. I was most especially attracted to the range of 15mm miniatures which were available in four different flavours, namely, Celts, Baggage, Mercenaries and Early Imperial Roman.

I think I can sum-up my impression of these tiny miniatures by stating here and now that they simply ooze quality. despite being only 13mm tall (head to toe) they possess more detail and depth than many other miniatures twice their size. The group contains 6 figures in different poses, and includes such personalities as a General, a signifier, musician and standard bearer. There are also 4 oval shields included in the pack which may be used to adorn an individual as required.

What I find most appealing about these figures is the sheer level of detail. One figure - for example - carries a standard upon which the designer has crafted a perfect laurel wreath. Another sports a crested helmet whose very fibres appear - one could almost imagine - to have been inserted individually. All 6 figures wear the A-typical brand of Roman sandals complete with leather strap-work. Better still, all this is achieved without even the merest suggestion of any flash or casting flaws.

As figures go these 6 little characters are fantastic. As 15mm figures, they must surely be some of the very best. I will be collecting a lot more!
