Late Romans and Other leftovers joining Romano-Britain Shieldwall!

One of my favorite historical and gaming periods is the Late Roman/Dark Ages period.  I have gamed the period in 15 mm with DBM and in 28 mm with Warhammer Ancients.  One day perusing Issue 62 of  Wargames Soldiers & Strategy I came across an article and scenario written by Steve Jones for the Osprey Games rules Dux Bellorum.  His Romano-British armies mounted on a 120 mm frontage were impressive.  I bought a set of the rules, played a few games with sabots and was hooked.  I was determined to re-base my units on 120 mm frontages and have never regretted doing so.

 Warbands and skirmishers.

Once I was finished re-basing, I had leftover Late Romans, Western Barbarians, some Roman Cavalry and assorted mounted Germanic cavalry.  How could I not do Dark Ages Britain without King Arthur?  With what I had leftover I'm able to do four units of Riders, two units of Shieldwall and once unit of mounted skirmishers.  For any dismounted skirmishers I decided I could borrow from the existing Late Roman and Early Saxon armies.

The first three stands of cavalry.  Figures are a mixture of Wargames Foundry and Old Glory.  Arthur's unit is the one with 2 flags.

As gaming projects come and go I had put off repainting the rest of the cavalry and Late Roman infantry that would make up the remainder of the army.  One of the clear goals I set for myself this year was completing King Arthur's forces.  Here is a photographic journey of the start of the conversion:

Mostly Wargames Foundry Late Romans that I have started to repaint tunics and shields.

 As you can see many of the shield designs are based on Steve Jones's army.
