Thanks dude. Let's see what janner's got up his sleeve.

I was never contemplating getting the archers anywhere near the enemy. 

Great work matey 

Get to work!
*whiplash*

Cool. Join us!

Might!

Now play your campaign and move 400 years up in time - and my vikings will (probably) be ready to conquer "your" British Isles

Still working on my Dux Brits myself, all based and primed, now they are all staring angrily at me for the next round of pigment placement!!

Mine are in the same state, but hope to have some troops ready to counter the Saxon hoards shortly

I still think that "Dark Ages" is a misnomer for projects like this are clearly Late Roman in style and should therefore be rightfully placed in the Antiquity board!  

Okay, just envious on all those great figures & armies popping up here. This one will be a favourite! Also it's always nice to see a project unfolding from bare metal to the finished models. Please keep it up!

[Dr. The Viking]

That's a valid point though. I guess we might as well have put it in antiques. But since our common interest in history seems to revolve around the medieval period this project sort of confines the start of that sphere.
Janner's the buff here though and I'm just a measly apprentice...

My take on the Saxons will be slightly ahistorical in that I'll go for stereo typical portrayals. All of themw will be blonde for example and all my geodrith will have bits of red cloth because the warlord has decreed it so. While this is clearly historically wrong I think it gives a nice feel to the overall look in a not very uniform period. And as mentioned I consider it historical fantasy in a sense.

Looking forward to following this project, just started painting a few late Romans for a Saga/Dux game. Trying to round out a few projects before the end of the year and clear a few backlogs.

Can I ask do you know how the Musketeer Late Romans scale up against Gripping Beast figures?
I've heard the Saxons are well scaled but the Romans are significantly taller.

Nope, they are exactly the same size and style.

[Mad Doc Morris]

To be clear, I was just kidding.
I have no issues (well, no big ones anyway  ) with "crossover" project appearing this side or the other. It just shows how pointless certain period classifications are after all. But that's rather by design, and I'm happy to follow your progress here or anywhere else.

To be fair, there is an overlap between Classical and the Early Middle Ages, and I'm no fan of Gibbon's 476 A.D. date as a universal line in the sand.

However, as these rules are set in post Classical Britain, here is as good a place as any

[Dr. The Viking]

To be clear, I was just kidding.

Sure!  I got that. I just wanted to banter while I haven't got new pictures to post.

LOL! Well, for the just about the first time I put primed lead on the table (swallowed my pride!) to start playing Dux B -- had a lot of fun with my Romano Brits, and discovered that Bibamaus (drinking heavily before a battle) and trying to stay in Shield Wall don't mix very well...
