Arthurian Skirmishers

I have been making steady progress on one of my two new projects, starting with figures from Wargames Foundry for the Age of Arthur project. As I said previously I'm starting with these smaller castings to get them processed before my cataract interferes rather more in painting than at present. There are three bases of figures in this unit mounted on 60x50mm bases. Not a great deal to say about them, I've painted many before and they're fairly straightforward figures. One welcome improvement nowadays is that they now come with steel spears rather than soft metal ones. Well done Foundry! A peek is in order now I'd say, wouldn't you? Here they are then ~

You'll notice at once I'd hope that the shields are a mixed lot. I wanted to use up the spare Late Roman transfers I had in stock. It produces a rather ad hoc, irregular look to the unit in my view: shields left behind, picked up in the odd brawl or even "fell off the back of a cart"! The shield transfers are from LBMS, now available under the Victrix banner. The 3mm bases are from Warbases of course. 

Next up under the Brush of Doom, all things being equal, should be a similar number of bases of archers for the Early Saxon element of the project, also using figures from Wargames Foundry. Then it should be on to working on the heftier boys from 1st Corps and Gripping Beast, unless that is I buy something else that takes my fancy at 'Ommer'ead this weekend coming...
