Superb painting and basing, a very impressive army!!

Can you do a review of the victrix early saxons?

Impressive dude 😁 cant wait to see all this, look forward to the next update

WOW! Thank you for sharing.

Nothing like a deadline.... Best of luck and please don't burn yourself out! Would hate you to get to the con and not have the reserves to run the game so please do look after yourself! Best wishes :)

Wow, you've been productive, well done!

You're a mad man! That many minis in 3 weeks and change?! Hats off to you, sir. I think the camp follower women in the carts would be good if you can get them in (this way the Romans can hear the lamentations of the women). Nice save on the cavalry figure with the broken foot and messed up sword.

Dwarf Fortress is great

I love the bases. I know they're Bat bases but what sizes are you using for each type?

Impressive to see how this has all come together. Looks awesome laid out, congrats

Hopefully someone picks up those Aventine molds and stuff. It is worrying how some of these ranges could be lost because the owners retire or pass away.

I’m on a tight timeline to get my Macedonians finished in time for Historicon too, so this is a good bit of inspiration!

Wow x2. First Wow, that's a lot of done stuff. Second Wow, that's a lot of stuff yet to do. How many figures do you reckon you're going to hammer out here in the next 4 weeks? I think the kitbash for the Germanic cavalry will work really well. Are you going to drive down to Historicon from New England? It seems like a lot to schlep around. Don't spend all your money at the vendor area. lol.

Even on a tiny screen the shield transfers really pop at the tabletop 3 foot view.

So impressive to see them all laid out like that

Really good progress, with the deadline now approaching everything seems to be coming together very well This game should make a great impression at Historicon. Using the spare Victrix components on other plastic figures works very well, not only because they are of better quality, but because I find it helps to "tie in" the figures from the various other manufacturers with the Victrix ones.

Such a great looking force

Superb, ready to fight...and obviously motivated!👍👍

Horde is looking good, just ordered Rome and the sword

Fully booked game, congratulations! The Vallejo brush-on primer is a pretty good option for priming if the weather isn't good for spray painting

The basing of dynamic posed ancients is extremely difficult. I've been doing 3 per 40x40. They're looking great, man! The punters at Historicon are going to have a great time. Make sure to take a lot of photos and video clips of the game and the post game debriefing whisky fest. lol.

What bases are those?

who makes cataphracts?

Wow, this was a great video, and you put in a lot of effort. I've only been in the hobby for a year, and it was very informative for me to learn about the various ranges available for the different cavalry troops.

Amazing looking army! Just started my own and I'm glad I came across your video. Really, its a great set of models you've collected! Happy you shared it!

Awesome looking miniatures. Good color choices. This makes me want to spend some more time on doing highlights.

You may have answered this many times before. But can you tell me where to find these bases? Thank you

Those are amazing! I'm just getting into the hobby, what is the brand of those late romans my friend?

You can tell that “Northwest Passage” was not filmed in upstate NY. The forest is not dense enough.

Thematic ideas. My hobby horse

So cool 👍

I have only ever based 15mm figures for DBA but am currently painting 28mm dark ages figures and am really at a loss as to which size bases I should use for maximum playability. I love the irregular shapes of your bases and would like to have a go with them but just wondered how many different rulesets they will be able to use if based in this manner? I expect you have already mentioned this numerous times before but I would like to hear your slant on it and also by the way, how many figures you fit on each base for the various types of troops. Many thanks.

Superb colors and great paint job!

Im looking to do a justinian I force for TTS, so this is perfect inspiration 👌

Nice stuff, looking good!

Comes = companion Comites = companions Comitatus = troop or squad of guards for the leader (copia comitum)

Looking good. Spacing out the more interesting figures in the front rank so that they can be seen better is a good idea. I think a combination of spaced out and closely packed figures in the same warband would work pretty well: Spacing out the front rank and then packing the second and third ranks in quite densely with a few stragglers spaced out in a rear rank. As well as allowing the interesting figures to be shown off better it also simulates how I think a barbarian warband would behave with the braver guys leading in front coming forward, the mass following but sticking together for mutual protection, and the less brave hanging back a bit in the rear.

That half circle base to line up with the infantry stands is a great idea

Great work and nice painting 👏🎲

Good idea on the Goths. Maybe Vandals could fit as well?

Looking good

Don't miss "spring" weather like that anymore. lol. Looking forward to the Historicon coverage BIG time! You're really giving it with this project, dude. Love the command comitias. Thumbs up!

Very impressive Roman army. Great project. 👍

Interesting. Will be good to hear how you get on with Saga. I’ve played the dark ages version but never the ancients one. 👍

Keep chuggin bro. Casey says the commander looks legit.

Great progress. Makes sense staying indoors and cracking on with the project with all that snow outside.

that is definitely a Germanic horde

Great stuff as always.👍

What an excellent feast for the eyes! Your figures are looking wonderful when laid out in battle order; can't wait to see any pics of the complete armies facing off across the battlefield! 🎨🖌👌👍

Cool 🏇
