i's original list had two units of light horse.
Here's the second...
And we are DONE!
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
Close up of the mound
Sarmatian general
Dacian generals, Decabalus has the two Dracos
Love these
The elite in their box

Horde time!
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!

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.
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).
