Finally a further base...

...completes another Early Saxon warband of three bases; or fourth warband of two bases each; even a ninth warband of one base! Any and all will work with Hail Caesar we've found, but I must confess warbands of three bases certainly look more menacing, especially when you are the Sub Roman Britons! The figures are by 1st Corps,  the shield transfers are from LBMS and as ever the bases are from Warbases! Blathering on at an end, here they are for your comments ~

Next to pass under the old Brush of Doom are the six Arthurian Heavy Cavalry. I've been plopping paint on these from time to time as I worked through the warband figures so hopefully they should be completed by next week, all being well. In the meantime, the completed warband as it prepares to muster into GHQ ~

My latest order from 1st Corps was delivered on Tuesday while we were over at Phil's with William for another WWII game. They are already cleaned up and the shields glued on ready to be spray undercoated at some point. More on these when they exit the Lead Pimple to risk their encounter with the Brush of Doom!

    1. Thank you Aly, glad you liked the figures. They are good value for money and would surely shine under your brushmanship.

  8. You've achieved a very nice consistency of composure and basing, along with some fine brushwork to create these warbands. Great work indeed! We look forward to seeing them fight!
