My congratulations to both you and Mario on two fantastic looking armies. This is the sort of battle that so many of us would love to be able to play, or even just watch.
I'm not a mercenary. Killing's more of a hobby for me.

Thank you Matakakea. It was a fab weekend. There were quite a few nice looking armies at the event.

Thank you matey  :)

Cheers Batu, I'm trying to colour code the units so that there are Red, Green and Blue (very Hippodrome-esque) for a unit each of Barded and Un-barded Tagmatic Cavalry. just to make the "regiments" look more Tagmatic as opposed to Thematic, where the units would have contained more of a mix. Having said that, i'm not sure how successful I will be as all the iniatures i have leand themselves more to uniformity then not.

Example of "Red" Barded Tagmatic Cavalry:


I love their lances!   Beautiful!

Thank you Digits, very nice to hear as like the horses they were a wee bit rushed. I wish I had managed my time better before Tim's extravaganza but hey ho! That's the way it goes at times :)

Hi,

I've taken pictures of all the miniatures in the unit, now on single bases so if you are of a mind to, you can see the miniatures from three angles which ought to display them nicely as single pieces.

As usual, if you want to see more pictures, please head over to my Just Add Water Blog here:

Hers' a few photo's to get things moving.....











Cheers

They are so clean! Fantastic paintjob, Atheling. Thanks for sharing. Very cool to see them individually based. They are ready to ride down some fellow singly based infantry in skirmish ! :D

No probs, but, you are giving me way too much credit in terms of generalship! They did quite the opposite and went fleeing at the slightest hint of trouble!

It was a fun packed day and I think much loved by those who attended  8)
