Saxons Foiled
« on: 29 March 2015, 10:24:59 AM »
I enjoyed a large Dark Age bash yesterday between Romano-British and Early Saxon Kingdom armies, I was the British. In a nutshell the British took the high ground in the centre of the battlefield and stood in shieldwall awaiting the Saxon assault, which came just as we reached the top. The line held and the slopes were heaped with Saxon dead.



The British form shieldwall.



The crisis is reached.

Nice.
The  fabric flags really do look superb.

Great looking game and fabulously painted minis!

Oh and where did you get the round numbered casualty markers from?

The casualty markers come from Warbases, those are the smaller ones, they do a slightly larger one, many people populate them with debris and casualties, I like mine plain.

I have seen your stuff, that's real painting, thanks for the kind words.
