Ancient Britons

[Stig]

Now then,

Heres a few photos of my 10mm Ancient Britons.  Not all the modes are Pendraken but a couple of hundred of them are.  This is probably my favorite army.  It took ages to paint, i started them in 2004, i think they were finally finished in 2007.  since then they have spent most of the time in a box on a shelf.  Anyway, the pics!



The complete army.



The commanders



Chariots



Skirmishers



Fanatics!!





The massed warbands....448 individual figures...no wonder it took so long to paint.



Scarey closeup of unwashed barbarians.

Cheers for looking

Now that really is the 'great unwashed'!  The visual impact of a big group like that is excellent.

Excellent work Yorkie.

Really looks spiffing on mass...

Ancient Britons though?  Should their be lots more chariots?!     Hehe...

Really well done sir.

These are based for Warmaster Ancients i take it?

[nikharwood]

Top-notch mate, top-notch 

Those are stunning en-masse 

[Stig]

cheers,

They are based for Warmaster Ancients, although im planning on using them for FOG in the near future.  Im not rebasing them though....life really is too short!

Cracking army, i have a question though, how did you make sure the big warband didnt end up looking like a bunch of clones?

Did you have a special technique in sorting the minis etc?

Thanks

The last pic reminds me of Fulham Broadway on a Saturday afternoon

I didnt have any sort of system, i just mixed them up, please note that they are from a variety of diffrent maufacterers, which helped.  The last thing you want with a warband/barbarian army is any sort of uniformality!

Cheers

  Absoluetly cracking!

Great looking Britons!  I have been slowly, ok, very, very slowly, painting an Anglo-Saxon army for Warmaster Ancients.  No hurry since everyone around here fled to FoG and now are stuck with that system.  I found WMA a much better mass battle rules system.

Good Luck with your Ancient Britons in FoG and the still look smashing

Hi Blaker,

Interesting that you say that they are "stuck" with Fog.  I dont plan to rebase my armies, all i have to do is make some sort of base extension for the chariots, that can be removed if i play other rulesets.  I too still enjoy the odd game( athough rare) of Warmaster.  I havent played Fog yet but like to keep my options open, and try new rules quite often.  I experimented with Impetus last year but no one liked it, so this year its FOG!!

If all else fails we just play DBA, or BBDBA...
