A Gathering of Hosts?

It will be quite a while until I complete the Early Saxon Warband I'm currently working on as I'm awaiting my order of shield transfers from LBMS, so I thought that to keep me motivated and also give you a chance to see how the Age of Arthur project is developing I would show them to any interested passer by as a Gathering of the Hosts, small forces taking the field, joining with others to contest the fate of Britania. Firstly, of course, Arthur Pendragen, Dux Pendolorum, and his mottly assortment of Britons ~

Secondly, Cerdic and his hordes of pagan warriors ~

When I eventually complete the aforementioned Early Saxon Warband, currently enduring their time under the Brush of Doom,there will be just 6 Arthurian Heavy Cavalry figures for this project remaining in the Lead Pimple. While I may not have enough yet for a game using Hail Caesar, there are enough I'd hope for a bash using either Midgard or Neil Thomas' rules, as individual bases can stand in for units giving each player a larger army to command on the tabletop battlefield here in GHQ. Or as in the picture following warbands can be reduced from three to two bases, also giving a larger force to command ~

 In the meantime though its back to wielding the old Brush of Doom...and thinking about the next order of figures for the project of course.
