Kudos to Ludens despite his bad eyes, chainmail instead of plate armour.

Like I said, just the horse models...

I was mostly drooling only at the horses :D
Anyway we can't know if it's all Gustave posting :P

EB-1 wouldn´t have been released in such a splendid fashion if it not were for the tireless activity of Tux. May never come the day that he leaves EB-II, because on that day, our project will be doomed to failure.

I think that a great percentage of what has made EB a great, historically accurate representation of the ancient world is Tux, he really deserves to be praised every day for his eternal work on the EB models and now also on some of its beautiful skins.
