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

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).

Frostgrave Warband; an orc!

An orc, been sitting in the pile of shame for a while. He's on a 30x30mm base Probably end up with my gobbos Four more skeletons, a gift from my lovely neighbour Brian. Two Prinz August self molded skeletons and two games workshop skeletons. Back view Quite a mix of weaponry Charge Antediluvian Miniatures recently produced these, and I just had to have them! Left - Right Heinrich Kemmler, Lord Krell, Ranlac the Black and Mikeal Jacsen! The four main characters based on the illustrations within 'The Terror of The Lichemaster warhammer 2nd edition mini-campaign. PDF here They are the main antagonsits of the campaign, and genuinely nasty pieces of work! I moved the arm pose on Krell to give him some depth For c£20 they are lot bigger, and a damn sight more affordable, that the price the originals go for on ebay! Three (maybe two, one is a mou...

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 Mutant Zombie by CP Models Or just a mutant? Nota nice looking chap That's not going to clear up anytime soon! Nasty rash there Puss, but no boots Thought Sharke needed some support, so when I ordered terrain from Alternative Armies, I added a certain Sergeant. He's a BIG unit! Thought it was only a few months back painted Sharke, but I checked back, 10th December 2022!

Blizkeig Commander IV - Hasty Assault

Mark and Stephen took my British at 1750 points, with effectively the same lists as before, but with two turns of preprogrammed artillery and a turn of smoke to assault my 1100 points of Germans who were in dugouts and gunpits. I chose to defend the four hills near my baseline. I has three HMGs, three mortars, two command teams and six infantry platoons, with two PAK36s teams. PAK36s and mortars on the back hill, two infantry and an HMG on the front. Infantry and Mortars in the left hill as a flank guard British stalled, turn 1 they failed to reach the table, so it took them at least four turns to advance. Artillery had landed on the right-hand hill, and rear hill, but had failed to kill anything, even with two 8 gun batteries of 25lbers . My ambush was sprung out the thicket. British infantry advancing developed an unfortunate habit of getting hit by mortars and HMGs. The British in turn 6 cleared the central hill with armour, but needed to get at least three infantry stand...
