Despite a number of distractions I have finally completed the painting and basing of my British force to use with Dux Britanniarum.
I will let the figures speak for themselves in a series of pictures.
The Leadership
The Elites
The Warriors
The Levy
A selection of skirmishers
Light Cavalry
Shock Cavalry
And a peasant with his cart, cost me a fiver at a bring&buy, make and painter unknown.
Now all I need to do is to find some Saxons to battle against.

ReplyDeleteThe figures look great. I've always had an interest in the period. Maybe "one of these days"... ha
Maybe one day sooner!
DeleteHi Jim,
ReplyDeleteVery nice looking set up - I am a great fan of the understated approach to painting and you seem to have this style spot on. Very inspiring and I need more inspiration like a hole in the head - now where did I put my copy of Dux and Saga?
All the best,
DC
It's a compromise forced upon me by a combination of eyesight and painting time!
DeleteYou've done a great job on theses figures Jim.Bring on the Saxons!
ReplyDeleteAlan
One of my chums is doing Saxons slowly. I hope to paint mine more swiftly!
DeleteKite shields?
ReplyDeleteYes, well spotted!
DeleteI ran out of round shields at the time so I used what I had to hand.
I may change them in due course.
I'm shocked I tell you :-)
DeleteOne shock or two?
DeleteGreat paintjob, I love the chariot and the skirmishers!
