Gŵr y Gogledd (Men of the North)

[Derek H]

I’ve just finished off this Gŵr y Gogledd (Men of the North) force for Dux Britanniarum from TooFatLardies.

Blog posting at http://dereksweetoys.com/2014/10/gwr-y-gogleddthe-cavalry-options/  As usual with me , the painting is decent wargames standard rather than good, but I really do like the overall look of the force.  Not many of the Chi-Rhos you find in so many Arthurian forces, but lots of white shields.

Men went to Catraeth with the dawn.
Their bravery cut short their lives.
They drank yellow mead, sweet, ensnaring,
For the space of a year the minstrel was merry.
Red their swords, let them not be cleansed;
Their shields were white, their spearheads four-edged,
Before the retinue of Mynyddog Mwynfawr

The Gododdin

Really nice work.
