"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
