From DarrelH: Arthurian Welsh (70 points)

Hi all,

OK, my first choice of posts went belly up last evening when I dropped a couple of bases of 28mm  Thematic Byzantine Kavallaroi an inch or so onto my workbench and pinged out three kontos (Kontoses? Kontos'? Whatever is plural for Kontos!)) ! Not exactly a great start! Dark images of the Great Varnishing Late Roman Disaster from last year started to intrude upon my thoughts but my Arthurian Welsh came to the rescue! I've been asked to take part in the play testing of some new rules which seem to work well for the 11th CE. so going on the assumption that jumping back a few centuries ought to work just as well I have dug out a few armies that surely qualify as being a part of a pile of shame as they were bought in 2007 and have not seen daylight since! "Shame and eternal shame, nothing but shame!

Those Thematic Byzzies will be rescued by this time next week. In the meantime, please let me introduce a less effective troop type than the Thematic Byzantine Kavallaroi, the Welsh Skirmishers for my Arthurian British and Welsh Kingdom's army, erm.... gang..... erm belligerent group of..... meh, whatever.....

So, according to my mid life grey matter that is 14 28mm miniatures at 5 points a model which I believe is the grand total of 70 points(?).

I feel your Kontos pain Darrel - Ouch!  It is great to have you back with us this year and I look forward to seeing those cataphracts next week.  It is never too late for a post from you.

Find work on these belligerent Welshmen - some exceptional shading on those cloaks and a fine moustache collection.
