28mm Sub Roman British

A recent interest in the 'To the Strongest' rules has seen me return to the Dark Ages/Early Medieval period and try to complete a 130 point army. This army will be used in club/friendly games but also in the TTS Competition at the end of February down in Chalgrove. 
First up is my most recently completed unit, some Pedite Spearmen.

Then we have some light cavalry which have also been painted in the last couple of weeks. All these figures are Gripping Beast plastics. The light cavalry have already featured in a couple of games recently and did not last longer than turn 2 in both games!

The rest of the army has been painted for a while and it is about time I got the force table ready. I am imagining the army being based around Vortigern's forces just after he has invited some Saxon Mercenaries under Hengist and Horsa to come and help him retain his kingdom. His son Vortimer, who is still loyal to Vortigern at this time will command the cavalry. I need to paint up Hengist and Horsa, note the GW figure below is Morganna le Fay who will feature more when I get Arthur painted up too. 

All flags and shields are hand painted. For the flags I take black and white line drawings of celtic designs and paint over them, adding patterns of my own-apart from Vortimer's religious banner on his command stand which was hand drawn then painted. 

Many more to come in the next few weeks.
