From MattT - Scots Isles and Highlanders - (30 points)

The main Impetus army i am looking to complete this year is Scots Isles and Highlanders 1050 - 1300 AD.  Its quite a large age range, but for me its main opponets will be my brothers Anglo Saxons and Normans and my Vikings.

First up is the Big Man himself accompanied by awesome banner from little big men studios.

One of the interesting elements in the army are a couple of bases of  Highlanders that are classified as shooters with a high impetus value enabling them to charge into combat aggressively. I have portrayed them as a mix of archers and 2-handed axes. This photo looks more impressive than it is as i painted the archers before the challenge started and am only claiming the 4 axemen.

6 x 28mm models = 30 points

All the best. Matt


Great figures, and that LBMS banner is stunning.

  3. Hey that Command General is in my Anglo Danes ... has he deserted or is it his twin brother?? Dont like the look of these Highlanders - stats 5/2 short bow B for those into the Basic Impetus rules. Anyway guess would field Anglo Normans 1072-1154 against these? My Normans are ready! When can we next play though???

    Cheers Jez
