DP Dux Britanniarum WIPs

[Leman]

Here's how they are coming along.

[Steve J]

Looking good .

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Your not wrong! Really like those!

[Leman]

Thanks everyone. I'll post again when they are complete and try and improve the lighting. Should be finished later today or tomorrow. The levies are already based up and waiting to go.

Ready for battle - two warrior groups for the basic Dux Britanniarum Romano-British army. The first is in shieldwall formation.


The second is warriors in mass group using a Warbases Dux Britanniarum penny slot base.

DP - I have an idea why this isn't working for you. And unsurprisingly it is a photobucket issue, not a Mac issue.

In photobucket, when you view your photo, there is a section on the right, titled, Links to Share this photo. Click on the direct one (I think you have been using the IMG one). Then switch back to the Pendraken forum, and use the Insert Image button (the one with the landscape picture), this will put [ IMG ] tags in your post, then paste. This should put the code to link to the image in the post, and all should work.

I think you have been using the IMG option in Photobucket, which adds some extra URL tags which confuse the Pendraken forum software which is reading the square brackets as its tags.

Hope this helps.

Looking damn good DP.
Cheers - Phil.

Ok Fred, thanks a lot. Let's give it a go.

So close !!!

You must have moved the cursor one character, as you need to paste the http:// bit in between the ][ of the img][/img tags.

But seeing the photos it was worth the effort!

They look really nice - I particularly like the skirmish warbases base, with the dispersed groups. Might have to give that a go as I have a couple of those bases lying around.

Another go with a FPW fort.

[Leman]

No, it won't work. However ther was a message telling me I needed to upgrade my media olayer by installing Genieo. When I started this it then said I could not complete unless I made Genieo my default search engine, which I am not prepared to do, I guess this could mean the end of me and photobucket. Maybe I should go back to Flickr.

[fred.]

Don't think the media player thing is connected.

Looking at what you have entered, you have managed to delete the [ that closes the [/img] tag

Once you have clicked the insert photo button on this forum, don't click anything else, or type anything, just go to the Edit Menu, and choose Paste. Or use the keyboard short cut Cmd C - this should paste into exactly the right place.

If you can still edit the post that didn't work all you need to do is type a [  between  jpg and /img -- whats red here

.jpg[/img]

Yep, that was all that was missing from the post, so I've edited it now.

Let's try those ideas with a bit of Pendraken SYW loveliness

[Leman]

There we go everyone. After a couple of weeks it's been solved - click on direct then back to Pendraken. Click on paste then insert the [ in the correct place and bingo! Thanks for everybody's patience, help and goodwill on this. Now all I have to do is remember (until Photobucket bugger it all up again to make it even better [more complex] ).

[Leman]

This is the start of the British militia units using mainly Late Roman Militia but with some unarmoured infantry thrown into the mix. I have also used an unarmoured general figure as the unit commander. I am working on the assumption that the militia would contain men from all social classes, hence the range of colours, the commander possibly being a local notable.

Now dont get all excited and post everything at once. Save some for later!
