I've been following this thread for months now, your minis are simply fantastic. I love the theme as well, it's rare that you see anyone play the "bad" guys as the Romano-British. I'm really looking forward to the display base as well.

Only had time to zoom at Gawain &Mordred. Boy they are beautiful vignettes! You wouldn't think primarily of wargames when you come across this level. The shields and the standard alone are incredible.

Thank you.

Except for the pentangle shield, all the shields and banners are transfers, so I can't claim full credit for them. I have added paint to some of the shield transfers to enhance their color (see Reply #117 of this thread), so I'll take a little bit of credit there.

All of my transfers were made by Little Big Men Studios.

I've finished the second baggage marker. It's titled The Reluctant Bride.

Here we see the kingdom's Bishop extolling Mordred's virtues and trying to convince Guinevere that her impending marriage to Briton's new king is certainly no reason to cry.

I've finished the third and final baggage marker. It's titled Merlin's Arrest.

With Arthur away, Merlin is the greatest threat to Mordred’s primacy. As such, Mordred has ordered the arrest and imprisonment of Arthur's most trusted advisor.

The tree adds some height to the diorama and gives me a place to put an owl, which, like Merlin, is a symbol of wisdom and watchfulness. Merlin's magic is comes from Britain's pagan past, hence the rock with the Celtic swirl engraving, the dead tree, and the many skulls. At these angles you can't quite see it, but next to the tree is a pile of 4 skulls.
