Garrison Gauls

 

So all the work on the Romans has got me thinking about the Carthaginians. One component of a Carthaginian army was the Gauls, so I've finally got an incentive to start sorting some of the Garrison Gauls I got from Harry... current state they have been taken off their bases and washed ready to get a coat of varnish and based. They'll be based 3 to a base as early army lists list then as irregular LMI.

One thing it gives me a chance to do is start getting some photos of the range.

GA3 Officer. 

GA4 Infantry, spear and shield. These I might base four to a base as mercenary spearmen.

GA5 Trumpeter

GA6 Infantry with spear/axe and shield. The figure was designed with a spear point at one end, axe head the head - cut off the one you don't want!

GA6 - The axe version.

GA7 Infantry with spear/axe and shield, animal head dress. Another dual purpose weapon.

GA7, The axe version...

GA8 Infantry with bow unarmoured. Good basis for Scythians - I sometimes 'convert' them to Scythians with just paint.

Still to do standard bearers and cavalry.

  1. Great looking figures, very nice to see them all, should really look the business when they get their glossy coats.

    1. Happily they are nicely painted so I don't have to do anything except gloss, base and add a couple of standard bearers!

  2. Another lot of figures that bring back memories…
    When I first got into D&D… First edition… Many years ago… One of our group used these as Wild Men/Barbarians along with some of the early Minifigs fantasy figures.

    They are indeed going to look splendid when they get their shiny coats.

    All the best. Aly

    1. They've been too long neglected - no chariots but not 'needed' until now because I have a Minifigs Gallic horde. Got an early D$D box lying around somewhere, could well be first UK version :)

  3. Loads of character in these figures and they should look great with the Carthaginians!
