(Dux Bellorum Month) Romano-British Ordinary Shieldwall

I managed to finish the first unit of Romano-British Ordinary Shieldwall for Dux Bellorum this morning.


The miniatures are a mix of West Wind in the front rank and Old Glory in the rear.



The Old Glory miniatures (above) are slightly smaller so I had to raise them with a sliver of plasticard inbetween the slottabase and the miniature base so they looked ok with the West Wind miniatures (below).


I wasn't too sure on whether the shields should be uniform in design or not. It does look a bit weird for Dark Ages miniatures, but it helps reinforce the Roman heritage so I went with it, painting an early Christian design on a white background (hopefully it does not look too crusaderish).


Two more units to go, before I can crack on with the cavalry...

  2. Uniformity in shields may be anachronistic but it does bind the unit together, visually speaking.
