Sometimes I think showing them that size actually detracts from the whole point of them being 10mm - ie. they look better when viewed from a couple of feet away doing their stuff on the table.

Oh bugger! James White's just published an article in the current WS&S showing how to paint the self same figures. Could have done with that three weeks ago. Still, some very useful ideas there and it's only the start of a series on 10mm painting.

Yep, 10 mils are all about massed formations. Nice work though, DP.  8)

I'll check out the current issue as the figures on the paint bench awaiting inspiration to get them started.

Yep, nice article in WS&S, had a read of it the other day.  Good to see some of our Painting Comp winners in the photo's as well!

First time ever I've managed to complete an (albeit small) army in only a month. Next will be the Saxon opposition. Here are the completed Romano-Britons for a Dux Britanniarum basic army photographed on a 6'x4' table at Liverpool Wargames Club.

Nicely done, DP, nicely done - the round bases are really effective, especially for the units  8)

Here's a few more close ups of the other elements in the army.


One of the nobles with levy in the background.


A really traditional Romano noble with warriors in shieldwall.


The missile troops based in twos rather than threes.

That's it for now. I'll post some RCW later, then I'm off on the canal boat for a fortnight - there's nowt like sleeping in a tin can in this weather.
