Hi all
Ever since reading through the inimitable Captain Blood's "Twilight of Britannia" project log some years ago, the idea of a post-Roman/Arthurian army has been stuck in my head. With Victrix recently releasing their lovely selection of Late Roman/Romano-British figures, my willpower failed.
At the moment this is a relatively slow-grow hobby project, but with the eventual aim of working towards a force for Saga: Age of Invasions, and with the intention of making a small Saxon force as well, for my Britons to fight.
So, here's the first group of 8 warriors. In my mind this force exists only shortly after the withdrawal of the Roman Empire, and as such are still relatively Romanised in their style of dress and equipment, albeit with hopefully enough plaid and moustaches to mark them out as Britons. This first post is going to be a bit photo heavy I'm afraid!
EDIT: Something went a bit wrong with adding photos. Just the group shot here for now - will hopefully sort individual ones later.

Thanks for looking!

None of your images are showing- at least on my end.
-
No, me neither. I think you've put the page URL instead of the image link.
-
Well curses. Showing fine for me, but clearly something's gone wrong. Let me try something else.
-
Right, I've tried just re-adding the group shot - does that work?
-
Very nice :)
-
Stunning work!
-

Yes, the group shot is now showing.
Nice work BTW.

Looks really good to me!

Amazing painting! :o

Looking good!

Great job on those :)

These look great!

The minis look amazing! Especially, the colour palette is well chosen!
The victrix figures are just amazing to paint!

8)

Very nice 👍🏽

Thanks for the kind words everyone :)
Hopefully have got a suitable way to do photos now, so here are some individual shots of the first 8 warriors (just don't look at the plaid too closely!):

Your work is stunning, what a fantastic collection already. Please keep posting
-
Very nice. A really great selection of figures and fantastic paint work.
-
Cheers both :) Definitely no intention of stopping - I'm enjoying doing these too much!
Speaking of which, here's 4 more archers, 2 of them in old Roman tunics:

These are great, I really like your basing, very wild and moorland like. Don't know why, but it just says "Arthur" I put mine on heather etc as well.
-
This is becoming my go to thread when I visit the site now. An excellent advert for Victrix... I am a Gripping Beast fan for sub Roman Brits but now having seen your work I will give Victrix a go, they are simply stunning.
-
Beautiful! :-*
-
Stunning! How do you do the shields :o ? Even the inside of them is marvelous. The wood-effect is first class!
-
Thanks all :)
@Rick F - the whole post-Roman/Arthurian period always feels like it suits a slightly faded, barren feel. It's a world leaving past glories behind, in transition to something else.
@ulverston - Victrix make very nice plastic kits. They don't quite have the character of the Footsore metal Romano-British, but the versatility and price point of the plastic is definitely a win.
@olivero - the designs on the shields are Little Big Men Studios shield transfers. They have a full range designed for Victrix sculpts, available on the Victrix website. The wood grain is just one of the Vallejo Xpress colour browns over wight bone primer - they're already nicely detailed wood shields.
-
Up next, two more builds from the Unarmoured Infantry set (one from the command sprue) to finish up this current batch of Arthurians:

A mix from all the Victrix kits released so far - armoured, unarmoured and archers, along with a kit-bashed warlord and companions.
-
The Vallejo speed paints are looking good, do you highlight at all over the top or do multiple passes?
Cheers
Matt

The speed paints are only on the shields (and it's just one coat over primer) - the rest of the models are done the old fashioned way!
I have tried using the speed paints in a few ways though on some other minis. They're nice just over the primer coat, and also look good over a slapchop style preshade. Haven't tried highlighting over them yet though.
-
Speaking of armoured models, here's the first point of hearthguard - all straight builds from the Victrix Armoured Late Roman set. It's a slight shame that not every figure on the sprue has an option for a cloak, but I think there are enough ways to make them all look suitably Romano-British that it doesn't matter too much.

Beautifully painted figures! The cloak adds a nice, subtle touch to the figures. Would it be feasible for you to use green stuff to add additional cloaks? It would add some steps in the build process, but might be worth the effort to give that British touch to the force.

Sadly I don't trust my green-stuff abilities enough to try doing cloaks like that without ruining the underlying minis!
Some more progress over the last few days. A foot warlord, and another 4 archers. I've also ordered a box of Victrix's late Roman armoured cavalry, so some mounted hearthguard will follow in due course.

Thanks for looking!

Lovely :)

These all look super good, very inspirational.
-
Absolutely magnificent! Brilliant brushwork! Fantastic bases. I am in awe!
-
Fabulous, the figures are coming up a treat, liking the stripped spears also.
Cheers

Nicely done. Might have to get a sprue or two of these and see how they fit with my Footsore Arthurians and early Saxons…

Makes me want those guys more and more. Nice work! :o :-* o_o

Thanks for the very kind words everyone :)

Little bit of a photo dump for today's post, as I've been painting plenty but just not photographing!
First up, 4 more unarmoured warriors. All with variations on the late-Roman style patterned tunic:

fantabulous
-
The cloth work is amazing - how did you achieve the results on those cloaks?
-
Lovely! :-* Your painting is so characterful!
-
Thanks for the kind words all.
It's been a bit quiet in here for a while, but not for lack of painting, just a lack of me getting around to updating (sorry!)
First up, four mounted hearthguard from Victrix's new late Roman armoured cavalry box. Another very lovely kit, these four are straight(ish) builds from the box just with a few heads from the other infantry sets mixed in, to get the appropriate facial hair.

Catching up on some older painting, here's two more unarmoured warriors, making up the second point of them for Saga:

Here's the rest of the heavy cavalry, plus a mounted warlord and two companions. Once again, Victrix have created a lovely kit, and the LBMS transfers are wonderfully evocative additions.
