lovely work craig! One recipie for white I found via YouTube was spray white, contrast or AP white, then a drybrush of GW Praxia White and works well. Used it for some Star Wars Stormtoopers

nice alternative use of the Warlord Games plasttic Prussians!

Well when I lived in the area I rebased my old Mantic Kings Of War Dwarf army to use in Dragon Rampant at the club. Its been expanded since then and gets used more in Oathmark but it's not been used for a while. I got a lovely unit of pig riding knights for it from Alternative Armies too!

Hello from across the border all!
I thought I'd share a recent rebasing and sprucing up project I completed this past week, my Early Saxon Arthurian army for Midgard. I have owned these miniatures for a while and added to them over the years. Initially based for WAB, then Dux Bellorum but having played Midgard I'm sold on them for good now.
These are a mixture of Footsore (when they were Muskateer miniatures!), Crusader, Gripping Beast plastic and metal, 1st Corps and Victrix plastics!

slowly slowly getting there
Russians Pete?

Do you guys find Grimdark Future better for more 40k esc game? I've played one game of Xenos Rampant so far and enjoyed it alot but I think that works better as a more generic system. OPR is designed more as a GW alternative and as such has simular forces etc but no maths headaches I find lol

The walkers are from an old sci-fi game (made in 2006 yikes!) by Rackham called AT-43, I had the 2 player starter set and while the minis were nice even for prepainted but the rules didn't grab me tbh
-
looks like another fantastic campaign Pete! Can't wit to see what the next one will be themed around!

The "Space Raiders" options are definitely skirting some retro Citadel IP...
Space minotaur defo requires a beastman krew... and although I've sworn off more chaos...

I have some of there fantasy goblins and they are lovely! Needed them to fill out my Kev Adams gobbo Oathmark army!

Nice work Craig! I've been painting some Bolt Action German Grenadiers but for another rule set, found a YouTube guide that was easy to follow. It didn't make me want to rage quit from doing the cameo patterns either

Cymru cavalry....
Are these the Gripping Beast Late Roman plastic cavalry?
-
that was my favorite WAB supplement as it's an era I am just fascinated by, I blame Bernard Cornwell's Winter King trilogy!

I bought a pack of the Roman Citizens at Phalanx. They are for the Gangs of Rome rules but will of course fit in with Slave Revolt armies. I checked out the Gangs rules set but I'm not really caught by that expensive (£5) mini plus card etc marketing scheme so I checked out other rules. Song of Shadows and Dust seemed pretty good from reviews so I bought a set. If anyone is interested we can give them a go some time. We have all the terrain and minis we need already.
I knew they were the right set of rules when I saw they had Poultry and Irritable Mule rules ( they must have been thinking about you Dave).
Speaking of minis here are some of the Roman Citizens made up and some kitbash ones ( mixed with Andys prints).
Hate to say it but I now have more Slave minis than will fit in a 10 litre box!
Alan was a big fan of the A Song of rules system and we played it in 15mm and it was fun, and at the club I go to now in Leeds we occasionally play Advanced A Song Of Blades and Heroes in 28mm. Also play alot Of Gods And Mortals which is an Osprey one but by the same person who came up with the rules system. I recently got the French Indian War version as I want to build up a couple of forces gradually to then play Rebels & Patriot games
-
Nothing wrong with LR2 but those deep infantry blocks really have that Ancients vibe for me.
I can understand that Pete, the WAB multiple ranks look better than small 12 man units
-
I have found the OG lines to be very hit and miss, I bought a pack of there Pict archers 2nd hand from Colonel Bills and there ok as unit fillers
-
Out of curiosity what modifications are you making to Lion Rampant to make them more suitable for ancients? I know there was an article in an issue of WSS about using 1st edition for chariot era games.
-
I am really loving the narrative of this campaign, looking forward to the next installment!
-
I have to admit this has always been one of my favorites, I blame Bernard Cornwell's Winter King Trilogy and my love of early to late dark ages! It'll be great when victrix release there Early Saxons plastic set next year as I can reinforce my all metal army!
-
Fair enough, I know Lardies did a set as well but there rules I've found a bit too different for my liking tbh. I'd forgotten in the new edition of Lion Rampant there are dark age lists
-
I don't know if you've tried them but Dux Bellorum from Osprey Games by Daniel Mersey is a great set of rules for this period
