From AlanD - More Sub-Post-Roman, Late-Antique-Arthurian-Romano-Britons (84 Points)


Real life is rubbish. It took me two weeks to get these chaps painted. Still, here they are. Another unit of Romano-Britons based for Impetus and Dux Bellorum. Fourteen figures should give me a base of 70 points. 



Figures are a mix of Westwind, Artizan, Crusader (I think?) and Gripping Beast. Hand painted shields, natch. Using shield decals is exactly the kind of thing that brought about the collapse of Roman authority in Britain in the first place. I'm usually a big fan of Westwind Arthurians, but I was a bit underwhelmed by the 'Spearmen at Rest' pack.

The next unit I do is going to be more active. But first! Curtgeld....
