OK, I'm a McBride fan, but i concur - especially in his later work (Cowan's Roman Infantryman vol.2) comes to mind) all the warriors seem neanderthals on steriods! Their heads seem 'flattened' somehow and they don't look intelligent.. I asked Ross if there had been some mishap during printing, but he said that's how McBride drew the originals!<br>

Well, at least his old work was much, much better. My favorite is 'Arthur & the Anglo-Saxon wars' with Nicolle for the Osprey MAA series. I have several of the plates blown up to A3 format hanging on my walls.<br>

Antoninus, you could be a pro any time!<br>
