The Northumbrian Wargamer.: 28mm Late Roman cavalry 'To the Strongest'.

Welcome

Welcome to my wargaming blog,
I'm Dave and live in Morpeth, Northumberland in the UK.
This may or may not be a regular thing, we'll just have to see how it goes.
I am a painter/collector of figures first and a wargamer second. My thrill in this great hobby of ours is to place that final well researched & painted unit into the cabinet. The actual gaming with the figures is an important but secondary experience, we all like to win, but it isn't the be all and end all of it, being with good friends and having fun is.
Hope you will enjoy reading this blog as much as I will writing in it.
Just to remind the visitor to scroll down the various pages and click on 'older posts' to see more.
Dave.

28mm Late Roman cavalry 'To the Strongest'.

These are the last, the final ones, there will be no more - famous last words!
The Romans basically needed a couple of bases to complete their 'cavalry' option, i.e. if I wanted to shove a mainly mobile Roman army onto the table then these lads had to be done and done they are. Never say never but that's it for the Romans, I have one 30 odd figure Romano British (or Gallic if you prefer) to paint up from scratch but it'll be a good while before I can motivate myself to get that done.
So here are a few pics of the cavalry, don't take any reference from the shield devices, I had them lying around so used them as they look slightly Roman-ish.
