Dux Britanniarum Lente Progressionis

[Phil Robinson]

Title says it all, the plan was to have the two sides ready to play last year. Anyway this is the total to date, three groups and two leaders per side and three shock markers, maybe this year

The Saxons


The Romano-Britons

[Captain Blood]

Aha! We are painting the very same figures Phil - only I'm working on the basis of Saga rather than Dux Brit.
They look spiffing.
Are you going to do the Arthurian cavalry too?

(i've put my thread in the Age of Myths, gods and heroes board, because the tail end of Roman Britain has always seemed more ancient than medieval to me, but I don't suppose it matters... It's a bit of a grey area... A dark age in fact...  )

[Phil Robinson]

Wasn't sure where to put it, has you say its rather on the border. I didn't plan to have any cavalry, but they are too nice not too I suppose

[Poiter50]

Although I had initially built a Saxon force for Dux Brit (and RB opponents), my opponent only had Saxons so I have been fielding the RBs in the start of a sort of campaign but after the kicking I got last night, I shall be skulking in the old Roman forts! Actually all down to the dice rolling, got plenty of hits but failed to convert them to shock or kills. Whereas my opponent got fewer hits which he capitalised on and I failed to recognise that I should have opted for discretion rather than valour. My sole saving point was that I drove off his missile troops but my slingers were still in the middle of the battlefield as their better armed brothers in arms disintegrated around them! Now I face several months of not fielding a defence even when attacked.

Lovely stuff

Beautiful figures Phil!
You've captured that elusive 'Dark Ages' feeling perfectly.
Think I'm gonna steal some of your colour schemes.
