What ho Hive Mind!
With the Later Romans done, and Picts well underway, what should I use to add a camp to their armies? Was thinking the ridge pole tents for Romans, anyone know where I might find a suitable ditch and palisade?
As for the Picts, camp fires, sheep, cows, any other suggestions?

There's apple boxes in the fantasy range, which could be painted up as tomatoes, spuds etc?
I don't think my wife likes me very much, when I had a heart attack she wrote for an ambulance.

Hmmm, a camp suggestion...well, I'd say just the teeniest hint of green in the cloth, darlings, and then use a contrasting olive and eau de nil  flocking on your bases; and there are some simply ravishing recreations of military marches from the era that you can play while all those so-macho Romans go up against those butch barbarians....

I've made my own.  Tedious but the results are acceptable.

Camp followers, supply waggons, priests, food animals on the hoof
the boxes and sacks in the Pendraken German WWII range could be repurposed.

Better lose the tomatoes and add a deep fat fryer.  :P

Hovels do a Roman marching camp designed for 15mm figures but a friend had some of their pieces and based 10mm figures just peered over the top of it so might be worth a look?

Hovels 15mm Ancients

Baggage Train do Roman camps in various scales - Their 10mm scale Sub-Roman camp might do or the 6mm camp (Wendy House alert! :) )

Pink, tight  T-shirt, hint of eyeshadow and manscara, and a slight swing of the hips when walking. Doubtless FK will now be gunning for me, but it has been a fascinating morning down in Liverpool - first stop was a coffee shop where the rather attractive counter assistant had evidently not yet completed the gender reassignment, then into a gift shop opposite where the salesman made Larry Grayson seem as straight as a die. Mind you, he did have great conversation.

Course you could make the Roman one for your self. As Steve isn't a member I can well recommend the Baggage Train stuff.
