Romans and Celts for Infamy2 (30/12/20)

[Unlucky General]

There are some truly beautiful ancient period armies being build and exhibited on this forum at the moment and yours is one of them. I like your muted scheme very much.

Foundry Gauls are a better match for Victrix cavalry. The two horse poses are rather stiff in comparison and the riders with capes take a bit of work to get the capes to sit on the back of the horses. The underside of the capes have two depressions to go over the rear saddle horns but these tend to be filled with excess metal. The riders are very nice with a variety of clothing and hairstyles, they match well with Aventine's Galatians.

Interesting...

I don't have Foundry Celts, but read that Foundry figures are more 25mm than 28mm.

Thank you, that's very kind of you to say so

I dont have any Foundry figures but my understanding is that there are at least 2 sculpting teams for Perry Celts.
The Perry brothers have done the earliest range which are quite small and probably the figures people relate to as 25mm.
Rob Baker has sculpted a range which are I believe larger and would fall into the 28mm bracket.
I'm not sure but I think Mark Copplestone may have produced some figures for Foundry which if true would also fall into the 28mm bracket

10 more Gallic warriors bringing my little army to 20 Elite warriors, 20 standard warriors and 6 Tribal Cavalry so far. 10 Levy infantry and 12 slingers to go before they're ready for their first outing.

Copplestone produced four of the Gallic Cavalry sets and one infantry set, the rest of the Gallic range was done by Baker. These are all large 28mm that fit with larger figures like Victrix and Crusader. They are listed under the Gauls range. I don't have any of their chariots but the cavalry horses are huge like Victrix and Crusader's horses.

The Perrys are mostly smaller but some are chunky enough to use as shorter warriors alongside bigger 28mm, their chariots and cavalry are too small to use beside larger 28s. They appear as Ancient British Celts or similar on the site.

The third group are done by Dave Gallagher and appear as Continental Celts. They are mid way in size between the other two but match the Perry Celts more in size and style, especially their horses and they use the same chariot as the Perry Celts.

Beautiful looking. Checks & clothing patterns are very good,
but for me the shields make them superb. Shame it is your opponents
whose see them most. Maybe it will distract them from your battle
plan.

[Jeff965]

Thank you all for being kind enough to comment and for the information on the Foundry Celts. The shields are LBM decals which sounds like a bit of a cheat but believe me cutting them out and painting the edges to match is an art in itself .
