Frankish Command Stand Added- Page 2- 26/11/2020
« on: November 16, 2020, 04:03:28 PM »
My reasoning/excuse is simple..... those Justinian Byzantines have got to have someone to fight right? That doesn't quite explain m y recent foray back into my Anglo Danes but hey ho.....

Mostly Wargames foundry with a smattering of Gripping Beast.

You can find a ton of pictures from various angles of both the unit and the individual bases on my blog here:

Any progress is a good thing.  Multiple projects to chose from just keeps it fresh.  :)

True :) What has amazed me is that post five year wargaming hiatus, I am getting more stuff completed than I have managed for a long time. It has done me good to refresh the page so's to speak :)

Thanks Matt. I'm hoping Foundry do some sort of X-mas sale so I can get quite a few more Franks on the table top ASAP. They paint up so well they really don't take that long to do. Relatively speaking :)

Excellent news and mucho appreciated  8)

The Franks from Foundry are awesome.  Only ancients Foundry did better (maybe) were the Assyrians.  You are doing them justice.  Franks vs Byzantines are an epic confrontation.

Collecting forces for the Battle of Casilinum/Volturnus are on likely to be the cards. I've got enough mini's to do three or four bases thus far. I'm waiting to see if Foundry do a sale this BF or X-mas though as their prices are a little steep.

I'm planning to "go deep" with the Early Byzantines and their various wars.

You're right though, they are brilliant sculpts and definitely one of their most dynamic ranges.
