Three years ago, Adrian replumbed my house, in return he gave me a few boxes of PSC Goth and Huns to paint.
Finishes off the box.

Fluid lump of horse
Running round their opponents soon.

Two general stands
Twang!
Now onto Adrian's Samurai
Skirmishskirmishskirmish
8 bases of Huns for Adrian.
Someone is borrowing this weekend, 
and Adrian can't make it... 
In loose oorder so that his others in skirmish can allow him to be flexible

Player's eye view
*Finished - until he gives me something else to paint!
Light horse - Adrian was collecting them that night, so the pva was still wet on the shrubbery.
Most muted of all the cavalry due to being less wealthy.
Fast, deadly at range, not much good in a stand up fight!

The camp, arrived on Monday, finished last night!
Mostlly Beuada
Pork dinner anyone?
Think it's done!
Two tents, does it make a camp?
Barrels, sacks, pots, pigs do!
Unit one
Still keeping with the slightly muted pallete
But with the edging to match the foot units
Six bases looking like one horde
Top view, because...
Not quite the charge of the Scots Greys...
Second units
Great many hairy horsemen!
Ride!
Third unit
Not bad for the cost of a replumbed house!
The only winner here are the dung beetles!
Armourerered lancers
I know there is little evidence for Gothic catafracts, but it allows Adrian(ople) to distingush his superior cavalry in his army.
I do think these came out quite well!
These could hurt if they run over your foot ( I once lost a toenail to a horse treading on mine)!
Generals, using up more of the FIB War and Empire Kickstarter Generals special, in the very centre features Arthur as a heavy cavalry general and Attila on the right, escorted by two Hunnic heavy cavalry (Adrian also bought a box of PSC Huns)

Shields picked to stand out
Horde leaders wanted, apply here, no previous experience needed...
The cavalry horde, it only just fitted in the light box!
It's a big batch!
Two units of Gothic archers finished for Adrian(ople).
Back view to show cloths
Tried to mute their colours compared to the warriors as lower status blokes.
However, high contrast hems makes them stand out! 
Twang!
16 bases massed
After a conversation with Adrian, here are a unit of 'Goth' warriors
Each shield is a classic Goth Rock/Industrial/New Wave album cover, bonus points for each one you can name!

view to see the black (or very, very dark grey), again as 'flexibles'
the two ranks have three to represent loose order or four for close
order.
I went a little 'technogoth' on some details.
That is the 'Gothic Pride' flag, (LGBTQ+ goths are a thing you know) because I thought it looked really cool!
Goth general, actually a Forged in Battle general from their War & Empire kickstarted, this is King Krum of the Bulgars
Yes, he is drinking from a skull cup of Emperor Nikephoros I!
Resplendent
As ever, rear rank are in loose formation as the unts are 'flexible', hence less figures per base
Top view, I think we have hit horde propotions!

Gothic infantry started.

Extra stand (this was where I ran out of bases)
Quite a horde! There are 5 more foot units to go!
