Sub-Roman Skirmishers for Dux Brit*
« on: September 25, 2013, 05:45:39 PM »
(* Other Dark Age Wargames are available lol)

These are the first reinforcements for a British/Sub-Roman Dux Brit army. It barely qualifies as a conversion: a headswap for a West Wind head, and the addition of a number of javelins. It would be interesting to see if these gumbies have any more effect on a fight than the missile troops did!

Measure with a micrometer, mark with chalk, cut with an axe, hammer to fit, paint to match!

Don't underestimate the archers!

My mate Glenn thought his elite Gedrith were impervious to missiles and lost half his unit (3 men) to a lucky volley from a mercenary archer group. lol

On another occasion a group of just 4 skirmishers gave so much shock to a 2 group formation they were unable to close the gap with an already decimated shieldwall.

Panic, Chaos and Disorder. My job here is done

Willie, in the game I played, neither the Saxon nor the British missile troops scored at all. They couldn't have hit the side of a barn if they were inside with the doors shut behind them! o_o

I have high hopes that these blokes will do a bit more.
