Roman Cavalry

I did a couple of more stands of Late Roman cavalry to finish off my BBDBA Romans - 36 bases now completed for Adrianople. I have another dozen or so Goths to do, then we can play! These are Foundry with LBM transfers.

More Goths

A few more bases of assorted dark age foot, looking more like Vikings that Visigoths.

"Visigoths"

Well, they are a mix of Scots, Vikings, Saxons and other generic dark age foot from a variety of manufacturers, some plastics and some metals. But they'll do. Six bases of warband for the Adrianople project based for DBA. The LBM shield transfers are well worth the cost, love they way they make it work. I put melting snow on the base in hopes to see that here soon, we got 40cm this week and it feels like spring is a long way off.

Sarmatians

Here we have some of the Warlord Sarmatian cataphracts. These are fantastic figures, wonderful animation and nice detail. They are cast with the riders legs on the horse and separate torsos, which I quite like. These are great, I will be using them as Alan noble cavalry for the Adrianople project to face my Late Romans. 

Teutonic Kniggots

In between late Romans I have been working on some DBA stuff in the background. I just finished the important part of a Teutonic DBA army using 15mm Essex figs I received in exchange for painting an English HYW army for my chum Dennis. Good figs, nice transfers (thanks Dennis!) and a nice balance 

including light horse:

Crossbows:

Cavalry:

Of course, the kniggots:

various foot:

and the Hochmeister of course:

Clibinarii and equites sagittarii

Here we have two stands of clibinarii and three stands of equites sagittarii in 28mm for my late Roman army project, figures are Foundry.

 

Why do they do this?

Late Roman cavalry and archers

Here we have three stands of cavalry commanders for my Late Roman project, figs are Foundry and transfers from LBM.

I also finished 6 stands of archers - psiloi - to support the legion and auxilia completed last week.

Up next: more Late Roman goodness from Foundry, specifically cataphracts and mounted archers to round out the forces. My goal is to build a 3x DBA army to play BBDDBA, but it looks like I might have enough to do 4 armies...maybe I will sell a 28mm Foundry DBA army? Could raise enough capital for another project perhaps...
