Britannia Burning - more 10mm Romano-British pedyt levy and commanders
The last post of a busy month is another three-company unit of Romano-British pedyt for my Fantastic Battles Britannia Burning project. Accompanying them are the first two characters of the army, one pretending that they still serve the empire, and another much more comfortable in a tribal setting. All miniatures from the wonderful Pendraken Late Roman range.
Going more uniform for this unit, the pedyt shields are based on the Petulantes Seniores auxilia unit noted in the Notia Dignitatum; their banner is inspired by the shields of the Felices Iuniores in the same document. I've been having a bit of an issue with my painting hand recently, so the shield work isn't as fine as I would like, but they are done and I can more on now to the next unit.


Excellent painting and progress. The tartan cloak is amazingly well done.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great looking unit full of character, they have painted up splendidly.

They are marvelous! I was wondering what base size you are using. 50x40 or 40x30?

Thanks very much! The project has been on pause for the last ... almost year now. But coming back to it soon. the next unit is undercoated and in the queue.
DeleteThey are on 40x40mm bases - the characters are on 10mm rounds.
Great to hear that you will be continueing this project. I am suprised they are square! Might be the perspective that is decieving my eyes! But good to know.
DeleteI have plans for a small Post-Roman project for One Hour Wargames using Pendraken. Although I think I'll go with 40x30. But I see options for Age of Hannibal in 10mm.
