Atheling's Byzantines- Unarmoured Skutatoi Unit Complete!
Here's the latest unit finally complete- or nearly complete as I forgot to to matt the banner down prior to taking the pictures but I positively refuse to go back and retake the pictures now lol. I'll probably post some 360 degree images of the individual bases in a few days so the banner will be seen in completed then.
I also thought the banner to be a bit on the bland side but as the Unarmoured Skutatoi basically run of the mill plebs I'm not too anxious about this and will probably go for something similar on the next unit of Unarmoured Skutatoi which I am working on currently.
A load more images are available on my Just Add Water Blog here:

Thanks for the kind words guys- appreciated as always
I'll try to get some close up shots of the single bases as soon as I've varnished the damn banner!

I had visions of the unit advancing into battle with a guy with a paint brush wrapped around the top of the pole, clinging on for dear life whilst trying to finish the banner.Atheling_2006 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 26, 2021 10:35 am I'll try to get some close up shots of the single bases as soon as I've varnished the damn banner!

Vaughan only comes in third after Jardine (9 wins from 15) and - believe it or not - Brearley (18 wins from 31)!

I agree though, Jardine certainly gave the cricketing world something to think about!
