Byzantine Dismounted Bucellarri (Finally!) Complete!

[Hideyoshi]

I’m pleased to say that I have eventually finished the first complete unit for my Early Byzantines!

I’ve added in a couple of extra characters like the officer with his hand in the air, commanding the archers to loose and the Flamoularioi officer to ‘dress the ranks’.

You can see a whole load of extra pics of the unit as a whole and each individual stand from various angles on my blog here:

First, a more or less actual size pic:

Cheers 🙂

Wow!  Definitely deserves a blown trumpet!  I like the little detail of painting and mottling the edges of the bases to match the top.  Beautiful.

That’s a massive unit – what rules do you intend on using them for?

Wow, too! Damned pretty work, there!

 

We get slapped around, but we have a good time!

They’re based for Swordpoint but they could easily be used in Hail Caesar, WAB or Impetus (given that the bases are 40mm wide  by 50mm deep- 3 x bases for unit). Pretty miuch anything really. I tend not to worry about base sizes too much and just go for what looks right.  A Swordpoint infantry base is suppoed to be 40mm x 40mm but I needed the depth so the miniatures weren’t too cramped which can look a bit soul less IMHO 🙂
