Latest Celtic warband

For this unit I've painted 9 bases to give a 27 man unit rather than my normal 24 figure unit.

This means I can combine 2 units to make a 48 figure warband without having two command groups. Warbands tend to be impulsive; the command group here seems to be having trouble holding the unit back - those warriors are really champing at the bit...

I've now got a reasonably diverse range of figures available including some swordsmen.

Command group - officer is converted from the standard bearer and includes a dismounted cavalry figure.

The use of paint pens really makes a difference when painting colourful cloaks...

... and shields.

    1. They're probably one of the most colourful armies I've ever painted - though I'm not sure that the originals would have been quite as bright.

  2. Don't leave them champing on the bit, set up some Romans and let them get stuck in.

    1. Some of the ones I got off Harry have seen a bit of action in the past - mostly against the Spanish though...
