Prof. Vollrath edited a set of Byzantinics many times ago. There are Justinian, Theodora, the court, clerics and others. Engraved by Lecke I think. They are within the "Kieler Zinnfiguren" actually. I get my set from ebay... I think thats a good combination between both sets too.

As I have written below, a new series was announced for the "Nika-Uprising".   Meanwhile I have got the figures, and, to show, that 3o mm is still alive, I have added some pics.
They are very fine engraved by Mr. Lepeltier, much finer than my Handy-Pics can show. I have not cleaned them until now, make only a few pics to show them.

Thank you all for the comments -
@ Sandor - for me personally I had to struggle with these big ones - found it more difficult to paint
    as a 3o mm figure -

Nice work Erich!
The style of the Emperor and the Empress reminds me the icons of the time!
Actually I have never been enough brave to paint a 70 mm figure!
I like them!!

Very nice, particularly like the Emperor and his wife.  Byzantium is a time period not well served by flat editors much less miniatures for that matter.

Christoph,
yes, you can get them there and a few more. These are really big ones with 70 mm height.
As I mean, there are 14 or 15 different types available. I personally have two more unpainted here.
Mr. Dangelmaier has also 2 Series of Byzantine soldiers in 3o mm, but I have no further informationat the moment. From the "Zinnprinzessin" will be a new set available soon, the "Nika - Uprising".

Hello,
nice painting.
Byzantium is an interesting subject but not many figures edited for that, sadly.

Are these figures edited by Mr. Dangelmaier?

At the moment I have some figures in a drying phase, like the emperor Justinian and his Wife Theodora.
The two other figures are WIP, a varangian soldier 10th/11th century and a varangian officer, 11th/12 century.
