Arthur, Dux Bellorum of Britain leads the elite of Britain against the Saxon invaders.
My Romano-British army composed primarily of Wargames Foundry figures with some Old Glory miniatures is finished and battle tested. They are mounted for Dux Bellorum on 120mm wide bases. In Dux Bellorum game terms I organized the army as my own interpretation of King Arthur:
1 Mounted Companions: 5 points
3 Noble Riders: 15 points
2 Ordinary Shieldwall: 6 points
1 Mounted Skirmishers: 2 points
Of course I utilize the Experience Warlord and Imposing Horsemen option!
The assembled War host.
Shieldwall infantry #1.
Shield Wall infantry #2.
Arthur is the middle figure from Wargames Foundry flanked by Old Glory miniatures. Since he was also known as the "Bear" I added an extra flag to go along with the traditional Pendragon standard.
Okay . . . I'm showing off the dragon painted on the shield.
Another view of the mounted force.
One of the most useful units are my mounted skirmishers for making Saxon Warbands charge when they don't want to. I have also discovered that dismounted skirmishers with javelins are very useful.
I love the priest from Wargames Foundry.
One last look at the "overlooked" infantry of Arthur's army.
A very nice army Neil, the Foundry figures look great, really nice work.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donnie! I’ve always been a big Arthur fan and I especially like the novels by Rosemary Sutcliff.
DeleteYour right they are beautifully painted. Just love al those different coloured shields all mixed in. Superb work Neil.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray. Though it took time, the shields I (and the banners!) is what your eye is drawn too and it was well worth painting them.
