Between my main project, the Thematic Byzantines and finding myself having to wait for some Gloss varnish to go off (the requisite week before matting down) I managed to sneak in six British and Welsh Kingdom's Skirmishers for my Arthurian project.
Although a unit of slingers I checked in some javelin and bow types in the unit- we are talking Sub Roman era here and I have serious doubts as to the validity of the village hoi polloi being overly very organised in the production of homologous military units. Anyway, it helps break up the homogeneity of the unit which was my primary concern.
Awesome looking skirmishers, they look great and the painting is as always superb!

DeleteValleyboys are always good looking Darrell and these are no exception - I can see that you must have used a younger me as a model for right hand figure picture 7!
ReplyDeleteI think we'll need photographic evidence to substantiate that claim!
DeleteLOL.... I'd best leave it at that! LOL
DeleteLove those capes and the lived in faces. Great work!
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon
DeleteFab painting as always, Darrell! :)

DeleteGreat stuff, Darrell! The brilliant painting almost shadows the greatbasejob.
ReplyDeleteThanks Teemu. I was looking for that overgrown, falling apart Sub Roman Britain vibe.
DeleteGreat paint and lovely bases there!

DeleteLovely patterns!
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteOutstanding painting work
ReplyDeleteMany thanks
DeleteFabulous Darrell, they look really great, loving the tartan. Agree on your assessment we really need to think about it more regarding strict units of slingers, javelins etc

Thanks mate. Yeah, there's just no way I can see 6th CE soldiers in what was Britain being organised very efficiently at all.
DeleteBrill work Darrell
