DBA Early Germans army complete

[PhilC]

And of my 2018 objectives is complete too (ok, it's just in my head)



On this picture, you can see the figures necessary for:
8x4Wb: the warband main part of the army
2x2Ps: the skirmishing archers
1x2LH: the Light Horse
1x3Cv: the Medium Cavalry

This is a loose interpretation of the DBA list, but I like it like that

The LH, from the Strelets set "Batavian auxiliaries in Roman service":


The Cv, from Hät "Gothic Cavalry":

Great German Christmas Army!

[Wiking]

Yes, nice painted figures.

And as PhilC correctly do, there was snow in Germany at that time.
But the naked man in the cold is really hard stuff !

[Peter]

Excellent painted army!

Thank you all for your comments.

Yes, nice painted figures.

As in France, it happens that we have snow in winter from time to time, but not every year.

Regarding the naked man, I agree that it was probably unlikeky to see Germanic warriors like him in ancient time, not only in winter: there is no evidence of naked Germanic warriors, contrary to Celtic warriors mentionned in some texts - as already discussed here: http://bennosfiguresforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=21325&p=232952#p232952

They look wonderful. I like the colors, not too bright, not too dull and brownish.

.. really an impressive and very vivid warband.... where did you get the model-plates for their shields?
