More Painting progress and another remote Battle

The weather remains pretty poor in Northern England and with a minor leg injury preventing me getting out walking I have had more time for painting.

First up another British Early war vignette, I have had this one for a couple of years but it revealed itself during the recent tidy up in the dungeon, they are Foundry figures I believe, I already have an ambulance but it didn’t get into the photo.

These casualty figures come with the Conquest Games Norman knights. I have a couple more which I will get round to sometime

These Indian Troops were picked up at Partizan from Colonel Bills, they are Old Glory figures. They can play in both our Back of Beyond games supporting the British on their adventures in Central Asia. They can also fight supporting the ‘Whites’ in the RCW

Next up I have been working on these Celtic Dark age units, I have kept them unarmoured and as ‘light’ as I can only a few even have buckler shields. They will play as two units or light rear ranks for larger more heavily armed units.

Steve gifted me this ‘Celtic’ command figure which he had picked up at a show to lead my developing Celtic Dark age force

….and here they are at the moment, I think I have three ! more units to complete as well as some light Dark age cavalry to support them.

Next up we played another remote game. Jon had ‘dug’ out his Romans and Gauls. I will leave Jon to describe the background and details of the battle. Given my general preference for attacking I took charge of the Gauls.

This shot after the first turn the Gauls are starting to advance 

This shot at the end shows the almost complete collapse of the Gauls as the heavily armed Roman Legions crash through their centre.

It was a very enjoyable battle despite the defeat 😀 hopefully more games this weekend 

Thanks for popping by Matt
