Scottish archers
My third unit for my later Scottish HYW army, again plastics from Perry Miniatures, based for impetus or Test of Resolve. Two more units to go, then onto man at arms and nobles.

I have commenced my Scottish army for Fresnay, Bauge and Verneuil using Perry Miniatures HYW range, using a mix of English and French figures so they will reflect the influences of both.
The second unit of archers is based for Impetus or Test of Resolve rules. I have given them stuart badges or white crosses. A few more units to come this week before I commence the foot.

These chaps have been hanging around at the rear of my painting desk since February awaiting Foundry shields and transfers from LBM. I purchased both while I was in the UK at Partizan and I completed them last week. I have a second cohort which just needs the command to be painted and they will join my Imperial Roman's also. The figures are from the foundry range.

As I get back to my table I have been completing a few more pieces from my project drawers, a unit I commenced before going on holidays in April was a unit of Triarii for my Italian Allies for my Republican period Roman’s. I have a few Italian allied units to do (10 plus) that can be used as Allies or enemies of Rome for our upcoming campaign at the club.
This unit represents triarii Italian spearmen based for impetus, hand painted shields, figure manufacturer Agema minuatures

Off the table are some Germanic tribesmen units, a mix of Foundry, Warlord and some Victrix bits. A lot of work to get them to fit properly on the 60 x 60 bases as anybody who has warlord miniatures will find they are difficult to fit on bases to get them tightly fitted particularly. The first unit references the temple worship with a wooden Woden as the standard, which is a foundry miniature that inspired the totem I scratch built.
The second unit has a Hare standard which is a decal, again a mix of miniatures, decals are from LBM and Warlord. The wicker shields are hand painted runes. I have around 100 more of these to complete. I have based some individual miniatures for skirmish miniatures.
This week I finally sat down and completed some bits on my painting desk, so a lot will come off the desk this long weekend in France.
First up some Warlord Caesarian Roman casualty markers for Impetus, nice and quick, base colour, wash and simple highlights on the skin etc. I actually run out of basing materiel after these three, as I completed 12 in total…… sorted by the end of the weekend though!
Next up tribal Germans, than some more Roman’s

Prince Ardeshir, brother of Shapur II and leader of the Pushtigbhan of the royal hosehold. Along with his brother they successfully conquered Armenia and expanded the borders of the empire against Rome and in the east. He predominantly lead the defence in the north against the nomadic tribal invasions and squashed the nobles rebellion until his nephew was made King Shapur III. Another sub general for my Sassanid army, again an A&A miniature which make up the majority of my sassans.

My second unit of Sassanid Royal guard, this unit is also from A & A miniatures range. These chaps have been in my project drawers for around ten years. I ground off the raised decor with the dremel than sanded the horses smooth with wet and dry sandpaper, so a time consuming job to say the least. Quite happy with them could of spent more time on them but elected to get them table ready. They are the last cavalry unit I have for the army.

Impetus Markers |
Another project completed last year. These markers were simple and have been sitting in my table to do’s pile for some time, the shields have been completed for a long time, all hand painted except for the Roman one. I just needed to go upstairs sand the bases paint and glue them on.
