French Mounted Knights

I added more bases of knights for the recent demo games. I have lots more to add. 

 

Western Archers

 

I added some Light Skirmisher Archers to my EIR Roman project. Lots still to do but it is taking shape. All Victrix miniatures.

 I plan to get 100 points together for the ' To the Strongest' rules on a 150mm grid mat as the first goal for this project. I have about 37 points painted so far. I will then slowly bring the army up to 130pts over time. 

Wars of the Roses

 Some images of my Wars of the Roses collection. I plan to add a few more units in 2022.

Command base

 Made a bit more progress on my Early Imperial Roman project today. I'm pleased with how these are turning out. These Victrix plastic miniatures have a lot of movement and the variety of possible poses in the set make creating fighting units easy. The transfers that Steve from Little Big Men Studios has made really lift the figures. 

2nd Game

 A short report on the second game with the Republican /Polybian Roman Army. 

My Romans (commanded by Nichol Murray and myself) Vs John Glass's Numidian army,. We were using the 'To the Strongest' rules and 165 points a side this time

 John started the game in the same fashion as the last game by moving his army quickly across the table, he was able to field 5 elephants. A rather splendid, if not frightening sight, as they closed on my Roman command.

Nichol managed to break through on the Roman left flank and threatened to take John's camps at one point. The centre of the Battle turned into a real slugging match as the elephants fought the Roman Formations.

I fielded  a new unit of Italian allied javelin troops to protect my right flank and although they didn't do much, they held up the Numidian Cavalry attacking on that side.

The game came down to two or three coins left in each army but a Roman flank attack forced an Elephant to rampage and that was enough to give the Romans the game.

Another fantastic game with the guys and great fun to play these rules at the club. We look forward to the next one.

Some images of the game.. 

Army parade

 Here is the full Polybian Roman Army so far. I will be adding more allied Italian units but it's taking shape now. I mostly play 'To the Strongest' with this army. 

Auxiliarii Sagittarii

 

Some Auxiliary Archers for my EIR army project. I was lucky to get a hold of the new Victrix Archers before their release date. Here are the Eastern Archers I have some western ones to paint up soon. 

Republican Cavalry

 

A little progress on my Republican Roman Cavalry.
