Lovely stuff Matt

Thanks mate.
BTW will have time this weekend to send you the Spanish, Italian and French translations for the Nobles with armourials to you along with the standards from the tapestries from the Saumur chateau for the forvorno project.

Absolutely lovely work

Thanks, fast coming to my deadline before I switch to my Gaulois project, Napoleonic projects and some ww2 on the Sunday for 10 days of focused work on those periods.

Cheers
Matt

How could I have missed this thread!

Congratulations, very well done!

Bretons 5th-11th C. is a long amount of time, they would look different from beginning to end. Also they probably didn't look "barbarian" at the beginning, more like so-called arthurians. There is some mention of them cutting their hair in the early period.

Thanks Patrice,

The earlier 5th century range of miniatures I have selected really is being built as an excuse to use my completed late romans, Goths and also to do some authurian legend type games. As we know the home of Authur and Merlin is in Brittany!

The Bagaudae revolts from 404-17 is put down by Roman and Goth/Alan allies, with most of the fighting occurring in the north the roman city of Vorgium, particularly campaigning against the rebels in the Arrée mountains.

The majority of the army is being built for the 8th century unification of Brittany and fighting off the Franks and then the Vikings in the century 9th century.

Great stuff Matt. Plaid is a difficult thing to get right that it looks spot on to me

Thanks mate, have a lot more to complete yet! Then I will post two units of cavalry, before I start the heavy infantry.

Cheers

Additions this week for my Dark Age Bretons, another unit of medium cavalry, getting very close to the completion of the early dark part of the project with one more cavalry unit, a command and three more bases of infantry. The plaid is driving me nuts though.

Cheers

Further additions to my Kingdom of Domonée project, the last of my noble cavalry for the 5th to 8th century 28mm Footsore miniatures.

Quite happy with my plaid, more pictures as always on my blog https://stormandconquest.blogspot.com/2020/02/off-desk-finally-this-week-my-noble.html?m=1

Cheers

I think you have got the [plaid down to a "T" Matt.

I love those Impetus base styles too as it leaves so much open to the imagination in terms of vignettes and basing

Thank you mate, plodding through another unit of foot now, plus Gaulois so starting to get the hang of it!

Yes the basing really can be amped up, I have some interesting Gaulois skirmisher and some 100ye bases coming up

Cheers

King Riothamus King Arthur perhaps!

Riothamus (also spelled Riutimus or Riotimus) was a Breton-Romano military leader, and King of Brittany and possibly lands in England. He was active circa AD 470 and lead a army against the Goths in alliance with the Romans. He is called “King of the Bretons” by the 6th-century historian Jordanes but the extent of his realm is unclear. Some Arthurian scholars identify Riothamus as one of the possible sources of the legendary King Arthur.

The miniature is from the Footsore Miniatures 28mm Dark Age range
