Nice work.

I also really enjoyed the books, although I will always be siding with the Saxons.

Lovely stuff, i just recently finished my Sub-Roman British & Saxons for Dux Britanniarum, and I was helped along by Cornwell. These are pretty close to my visualisation based on the books.

Arthur and his knights

This is a very promising project.

I love that you are basing your warband and model selection (in part) on a literary source. My favorite warbands are those that tell stories. Basing a warband on Cornwell's Warlord Chronicles gives you part of that story ready-made. Plus, it's a clever way to enjoy two hobbies at the same time, reading and wargaming. Brilliant.

I like your basing and the good mix of greenery and flowers.

Love the striped spears. It adds a lot to the figures and reinforces each knight’s individuality. I've seen it done elsewhere, but I am unable to determine where it comes from. Not that it's import (Saga isn't a game for button counters), but does the striped spear/lance have a historical basis? Was it an Imperial Roman or cataphract affectation?

Arthur needs a device on his shield. Little Big Men Studio sells excellent shield decals. I can't recommend them enough.

The wolftails are a brilliant addition to the unit. Once again, you are demonstrating that you a really making these models your own.

I look forward to following this project's progress.

High praise indeed! I am such a huge fan of your various projects! Each one is so inspiring!

The reason I went with a metallic shield for Arthur, which frankly I would never had done otherwise, was because of Derfel's description of him in the first book,

"Arthur had a long, heavy spear named Rhongomyniad while his shield, Wynebgwrthucher, was made of willow boards covered with a skin of beaten silver that was polished until it dazzled."

Now that it's done I think it really sets him apart from his men, whose shields are on order. I plan to do, as per the novels, a mix of pagan and christian shields for his men.

If I understand the stripey spears are a carry over from Roman heavy capharachts but I am not 100% sure there. I saw the style used before in this ti e period and thought it would give an extra umph factor to his men.

Everyone has been so supportive and its much appreciated!

The life of a professor is a busy one these days but have been able to return to some projects. I give you Nimune

And I decided that black will figure prominently amongst the heroes.
