From BenitoM: Pit of Pendulum - Barbarian Warlord and Retinue (60 points)

The sound of galloping horse hooves can be heard approaching fast just at the other side of the hill... The small Roman patrol freezes in place... friendly Romans? Barbarians?... The tall horse shape of a bronze standard at the tip of pole is now clearly seen... Doubts dispelled: the signum of  Carnificurus the Savage, warlord of the barbaric German tribes and his retinue are heading towards you... there is only one thing to do: run for your life!.

 My second step in the Challenge Island vaults took me to the Pit of the Pendulum, where something terrifying had to be painted and presented. After much consideration I had an idea: what could be most terrifying than a mythical Germanic, blood-thirsty, mounted Warlord charging against your small Vexillum detachment in the foggy border lands of the Rhine limes?

 

 

The three cavalry models here presented belong to the Wargames Foundry Germanic Tribes range in 28 mm. I like this range more than the Victrix equivalent. They have a sort of "cartoonesque" design style; but that also provides a  lot of character to the models.

 

These three models will have a potential twofold use in my Infamy! Infamy! Germanic army, serving either as leaders or as part of the Nobles cavalry contingent (a calvalry unit = 6 models). 

 

I'm also correcting a mistake made in my previous entry (Roman Archers). I mentioned that a Roman skirmish unit had six models when in fact it has eight (Barbarian units are made of six models). I have painted the two remaining archers and now the unit is finished.

 

With this entry I add 60  points to my overall Challenge scoring and 40 points to Rome and its Enemies duel.  

3 mounted 28mm models @ 10points each = 30 points

2 infantry 28mm models @ 5 points each = 10  points

Chamber Bonus  = 20 points

Total = 60 points
