Hunnic-Goth raiders

Just a few posed shots showing my Late Antiquity progress. A barbarian raiding party is confronted by local Late Romans:

Looking good. Nice to see non-skirmish game setups.
(Not sure about the "inception" inspired landscape in the first few photos though )

Thanks, Paul.

I have one unit of heavily armoured Huns to do & will then look to a 'mighty battle' of about 25 units a side between them (& their Goth & Sarmatian allies) & the Late Romans.

It should be an interesting clash.

Looking good, Donald. The standard's not something you'd want to see appearing over a hill, is it?

I'm up you way, for a couple of days, the week after next, but on the wrong side of the border. Hopefully that will be sorted out next month.

Cheers.

Is the standard of the heavily armoured Huns a King Tiger?

If it's "standard" then it will be a broken-down King Tiger.

[grizzlymc]

Broken down huns.

Being of a tedious mindset, I've looked at the Huns historically. Not a lot is known & many assumptions are false.

Their ethnicity is interesting. Work done on DNA suggests they were already a mixture of east & west (read "Iranian" or "Turkic") Asian when they first entered history. Then evidently, lots of Germanic admixture. The half dozen or so Hunnic words we have seem to be of German origin.

So the old slur of calling Kaiser Wilhelm's hordes "Huns" may not have been that far from the truth.

Actually, I think it was the King Willie who first coined the slur.
