A Defeated Race?

[levied troop]

‘German, this is our aqueduct
And not the Rhines, Barbarian clot,
How dare you elbow and obstruct
A thirsty boy from drinking? What!
Jostle a Roman from his place!
This is the conqueror’s fountain, not
A trough for your defeated race.’
Martial, epigram no.XI/xcvi


Inspired by an Andy Grainger article in a long ago Wargames Illustrated, this started out as a DBA army and got slightly out of hand.  I painted a few more figures this year and thought I’d better call it ‘finished’!







Adding insult to injury:


Some dirty flankers:


Two things you must know about the wise women.  First, that they are wise. And second…….


And the consequences of war:



There are Romans to oppose them - but I can’t call them finished just yet!

[A Lot of Gaul]

Nicely done! 

[AKULA]

Great work mate - impressive, both in terms of quality and quantity

 

[RedDeadRevolver]

I've been play testing Infamy, Infamy and therefore new 'mob' bases added courtesy of Warbases:




There's another base of mounted tribesmen to add and I might add a couple more skirmish units but that's pretty much finished.

The Romans are to follow shortly.

Very impressive.   

(I have a load of Celts to paint  - sometime  - and this army is inspirational.

My word... 

‘A people should know when they’ve been conquered...’

This lot look like they’ll take some beating!

Brill 

‘A people should know when they’ve been conquered...’

Would you Richard? Would I?

Actually, I probably would 

[Captain Blood]

I was merely quoting the orstralian Maximus 

I think James, you Cumbrians were conquered long ago

[OSHIROmodels]

Bollocks 

[Captain Blood]

You used to be the Brigantes. What happened to them? 

Anyway, sorry LT, apologies for derailing your thread.

[OSHIROmodels]

No idea but I’m a lot less conquered than you 

Anyway, sorry LT, apologies for derailing your thread.

Yes, sorry 

[Cubs]

Marvelous mobs right there.
