10mm Dacians from Pendraken.

i's original list had two units of light horse.
Here's the second...

And we are DONE!

Light foot unit armed wth javelins completed for the army.

Only 4 to a base shows they are skirmishers

I think they work okay! They arrived on the Friday, and I had them painted and ready to go on teh Saturday morning!

Mean and moody!

Did not lose them once on their first weekend out either

Dacian main units finished for Si now, only need to do an extra light horse and some foot skirmishers now.
This lot nearly broke me, but they work well as a more colourful 'elite' pair of units compared to the previous warriors.

It's a lot of slicing and dicing

Slightly blurry, but shows the mass well.

Top view

Sarmatian mounted archers, great sculpts Phil!

One more unit of these to do!

Love their mounted mob effect

Superior lancers

(The guy at the back has a broken lance, but it is firmly glued in place and I liked the effect!

It's a big mass

I think they look the buisness

Rear view, red splodge on these and elite foot denote high status warriors

Average lancers, less armour you see

Still scary!

Charge

Sarmatian general

Dacian generals, Decabalus has the two Dracos

Love these

Unit two

Mean and moody

More sunny

Where's Nemo?

Rear view to show cloaks

Horde time!

Like these, can't wait to do my own now.

Next batch of Dacians done for Si, 144 more spears, making Dacians spears my modal models for the last 12 months! Over 500 Dacian spears done now.

Hordes again!

First unit.

Still doing cloaks.

Depth of a unit

Second unit, spears levelled

Third unit of batch (6th of Si's and 11th spear unit in all)

Here they come!

The horde so far.

Three units of Dacians, this time for Si Hall now his Romans are done, they need an opposition.

Still spearmen, but this time with shield decals from The Baggagetrain, three more units of these to do, plus the rest of both armies!

Quite a horde

Shields look good too.

That's only the first 144 figures in the army!

Dacians continue apace.

Next two units of Dacian spears added to the collection.

Two more spear armed warriors units.

I have started a new project while lockdown continues. So just because you need more than two projects on the go (erm, 4, no, 5, no 6, oh call it 8...), doesn't mean you can't keep other things happening.

Dacians, why Dacians? Well, part of my love of ancients, and using armies that neer do well. I also loved Nick Overland's 15mm army I borrowed a couple of year ago, my paint scheme was even influenced by his greta work. Dacians are the ultimate in victim forces, utterly annihilated by the Roman under Trajan (see Trajan's column for sorces) and Terry Jones (yes THAT Terry Jones, in his Barbarians book explains the genocide well.

Pendraken Dacians, which I helped advise on, started with some spear troops. I had enough for two and three-quarter units, so I'm just waiting on reinforcements, so here are the first two.

Not as efficent as the dreaded falx men, but make the bulk of the army, and still useful troops in MeG (tribal loose, short spears, inexperienced javelin, shoot and charge).

The random miniatures in my lead pile thread

Hi all, As the months go on, I am finding more random stuff that does not fit into any catagory is creeping it's way up to the surface of my lead mountain. I decided a few years back, rather than just throw it back like one of Nobby's escaped socks, I would actually paint some of them. Nemisis the Warlock - Khaos; Deadlock; the Warlock; the Shape of Things to Come; the Lord of the Flies; Holder of the Sword Sinister; The Death Bringer One of my all-time favourite 2000AD characters (2000AD is a British sci-fi based comic for those not from the fair shores of Blighty). "Creedo!" I got hold of two of these on Evil Bay, one uncommon (yellow base rim), one rare (red base rim), so I trashed the rare one (and kept the base elsewhere). This is a simple conversion of a heroclix figure, Excessus, Sword Sinister replaced, base ripped off and new one sculpted, undercoated figure, completly repainted, flying stem attached. Sometimes, you just need a seri

Medieval Scots - A replacement army - second set of three spear units added

I have, after much soul searching (no I could not find mine either), decided that I really should stretch my Pictish spearmen a whole 1000 years. 300ish to 1300 ish, so really stretching the whole Pict-morph-thing now. So 10mm to replace the fallen over the winter, this will be fun ( 18 months later, and summer is on the way and I finally started them ) This means a restart and finish with my Scots army back where I started with them for DBM, a successful army, but before MeG came out I had not touched them in 10 years, then I sold my 15mm version of them in 2014 (and then were instantly stolen from my late friend's car). So, back to the 1300s version. 1315 to be exact. A project I've been putting off for years, but now I have started the Medieval Scots spearmen from c.1315 with Pendraken figures and flags . Got this lot finished just in time for this weekend's MeG tournement. More Scots spears and the generals Another 25
