The Loose Association of Wargamers

It has been in my dreams for years. To put together a Nikephorian/Macedonian Dynasty Byzantine Army. The why etc will become apparent as the story of expeditious hand and brush movements become more apparent. Suffice to say, for now, that it goes back to the early 2000's and the games of Warhammer Ancient Battles we used to play with faithful devotion every week. It was Andrew Eason's Thematic Byzantine army, stunningly and lovingly painted, which drew my eye then and ever since, I have craved such an army. Gripping Beast's Black Friday sale made it an irresistible opportunity!

For more information and many more pictures of the individual miniatures and bases please feel free to pop over to my Just Add Water Blog here:

Many thanks Count

I do like those. The colours and textures pop out splendidly.

Excellent work, mate. Nikky Byzantines are an old favourite of mine.

Spectacular! Plus I am currently reading Decker’s “The Byzantine Art of War”, so perfect visual accompaniment to that

Not my period, but can still appreciate top workmanship, Athers!

Thank you all for the fine words of encouragement; I'm going to need it as I have another four cavalry units to go then eight infantry!

Great book. Have you read John Haldon's The Byzantine Wars as well?

As I said on the AHPC page these are just superb

Thanks. It was hard to wait the requisite 48 hours to post!
