cornuti seniores

A test painted miniature for my first Late Imperial Legion for DBa and later FoG. I will add some VVV shielddesigns later on....

Pictish Camp- call to the ancestors

The faith and the sound of eluveitie :) helped my Pictish guys to win against their Celtic brothers from the south (ancient british).

lot of pic(t)s

 I finished my DBA Pictish army today. Most of the miniatures are feudal castings. Unfortunately I didnt shot pics while it was sunny. I finished the army and pics by dawn so the pics are a bit poor.

suebi camp

as needed for DBA here is my camp: a ritual germanic cremation

Suebian !!!!!!!!!!!!

After some weeks of silence -was lange wärt wird endlich gut- my DBA Suebians are finished. I based them after my very errrr.. hard birthday LAN to find back in 'real live' and now, while the sun is shining outside and 21°, I've a cold....

I hope I'm able to play with them against one of the others soon...

Get out of the streets

Yesterday, all my troubles.. eeer-Yesterday I found some quite good on the architekts of war site and bilded up some street. Origionally for DBA they are quite big so I#m goingt to usethem for FoA and WAB. I'm goint to make some wood, smaller streets and a river today.

english longbow men

The first elements of my forthcoming Teutonic Order for DBA. I should have taken some crossbowmen, but I think my english friends will do at least as good. I think the facturer is minifigs.


I promise to update more stuff tomorrow.

Made my own DBA Table

Yesterday I made my first DBA table: The premissions was to make a simple, open for all terrain, and fine looking as well as handy one.
Firstly I cut my plywood in the mid in two halfes each 60*60 cm or 24*24 inches. Next I cutted my grasmat to 63*63 and put the wood in the middle. Then I stapled the mat on the back and clued the edges so the edges can not shear.
I'm happy with it and only have to build some hills and woods.

next base of psiloi

I can't get enough of
can you get enough of.... psiloi

I had some test painted celts hanging around here so I did a aditionally DBA Psiloi base with casualities.

I don't need it, but I want it !! Like at my last base the ground is swamp. Additionaly I did a generic dark age shield design to be able to use the element in all forthcoming Dark age armies. In my Roman army its named: ,,Numerus Nemetum''.

Balearic slingers

Watchout for your heads because here is the: ,,Numerus funditori Balearici''  The miniatures are Corvus Belli Balearic slingers.

Praetorians

I don't know if you know, but....Trier in Germany was the Capital of the Roman Empire !!
And so they had their own Cohors Praetoria, even their shields have to be matt varnished:

third Legion

Legio II Germanica

The photos aren't as sharp as their sword but her she is: The ,,Legio II Germanica''

first Legion

This Legio is my first in 15mm. It represents the ,,LEGIO I GERMANICA''. The main difference between the Auxilia and the Legions in this time was the armament represented by the reinforced helm.

Next Cohort

Here she is the ,,COHOR III MATTIACORUM PEDITATA''. She is the last Cohort of the Mattiacii. Maybe I will paint another base in the same scheme to enable a battle unit(e.g. 4 stands) in the far future.

Cohors II Mattiacorum

It ist sunny today to so I photographed my ready 15mm romans. I will upload them in the next days.

As promised, here is the ,,COHORS II MATTIACORUM PEDITATA'' :

first Auxilia Cohorte finished

Here are photos of my frst finished Auxilia Cohort for DBA:
The ,,Cohors I Mattiacorum peditata''

Its the first one so the painting is quite experimental. The name is not historic but because I live next to Wiesbaden (Aquae Mattiacorum) its quite personal. If they slaughter the enemy I will give my cohorts invidual titles like ,,pia fideles'' just like an emperor :-) .

New project - DBA MIR

Last Sunday I bought a Roman army in 15mm. Its a Middle Imperial one and I will base them for DBA. The army should be historical correct around 200 BC errr... I mean AD. The shield design is from Veni Vidi Vici.
Here is my first legionary:
