Byzantine Skutatoi Unit Completed!

Post by Atheling » Thu Oct 15, 2020 4:09 pm

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 sculptors vision of the Shieldwall working as one organism.

There are a load more pics from various angles and the usual waffle on my blog here:

Cheers Dave :) Thanks for your support.

They have been a labour of love. funny thing is, without the five (or thereabouts) year break from the hobby I don't think I would have had the focus to stick to just a few projects. I don't know what changed in that time but it did me some good 8)
