Early Byzantine Skutatoi Shieldwall Unit complete- Page 4- 15/10/20

On the subject of not painting part of a unit. There was a brilliant painter who still works for a big wargames company who once only painted just the front of a unit of Ghulams for display. I'll keep stum about who was the guilty party

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:

Great looking unit, but.....have they all been watching "Braveheart"?

Great stuff, so pretty it would be a shame to run them down with Persian Diqhan. (Not really )

That is a stunning looking unit - is the banner another hand painted one as well?

Well all of my 28mm Persians are still in Oz...

A Zoom challenge? Not that I've ever used it.... I'd love to try it but I have a feeling that I'd be all digital fingers and thumbs

[Shahbahraz]

Firstly, I'd have to get the Persians here, then they would need paint...

That's a seriously lovely unit.

What's next?
