From messing around a bit yesterday morning. I took a few of shots of the Skutatoi Shieldwall with the Command Base and a couple of close ups of the Skutatoi on their own which will hopefully portray some of the dynamics of the unit as they work collectively in defence. More Pics of the Unit...

I've had great fun painting up this unit of combined arms Byzantine Skutatoi. I was initially slightly worried about how they would base up but using the 40mm wide by 50mm depth has payed off I think. There's enough space on the bases for the miniatures to work together as a unit maintaining the...

These little fellows were meant to be based a few weeks ago but I managed to lose them! They were found again wrapped in bubble wrap right under my nose. Literally under my nose as they were wrapped in bubble wrap in a small box under my painting table! As usual more pics including single...

In between messing around with my early Byzantines and the Sudan projects I managed to squeeze in some time to get this vignette put together. I'm sure you all know that the Malalai miniature came as a freebie if you buy three boxes of the beautifully crafted Perry I've got several metal...

Skutatoi Shieldwall First Rank Added- Please Scroll Down: This 'little' command stand completed yesterday evening. Hand painted banner based on the famous Justinian mosaic from S. Vital. The Early Aventine Byzantine range proving to be a real pleasure to paint once more. Next up an unit...

Starting off with....... Yet more Beja for my Sudan project. Sorry about the quality of the pictures. They were taken very early this morning. Too early in fact. I'm not sure I quite had my wits about me as I forgot to set up the lighting and a couple are out of focus. I will do better...

EDITED. Please Remove. Thanks

I've just today completed my first unit of Early Byzantine Psiloi. I took y time with them like I have done with the Dismounted Bucellarii and the torsion Engine but no doubt they they will be the one of the first units off the table top and be sitting back in the box! For many more...

A few months ago I was asked by Gripping Beast to take some larger file pictures of a vignette I put together of Harold Godwinson surveying the Norman army just prior to Hastings. It has taken me a little bit of time. Put it all down to being a scatterbrain. Finally today, I remembered and...

I managed to finish off the varnishing on these 'test' miniatures this weekend so I thought I'd pop up a few pics. They were not quite 'speed painted' but more 'medium paced'; think Paul Collingwood as opposed to Jofra Archer and you're close to the mark. There are more pics and painting...

The title reveals pretty much everything. Harold Godwinson looks down at William the Bastard's troops just prior to the bloodbath that was Hastings. Close up images etc on my blog here: http://justaddwater-bedford.blogspot.com/2015/09/harold-godwinson-command-base-close-ups_30.html

Some of the miniatures on the bases are some of my first kit bashed/converted Beja. I'm really happy with the way they have come out. Speed painted again. If you have a mind to you can see more on my blog here: https://justaddwater-bedford.blogspot.com/2020/08/up-nile-beja-lot-five.html...

The first unit in my Justinian/Heraclian Era Byzantine Army complete. '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...
