Wow! I really must order some of these! They look great and will make worthy opponents for my Saxons, Irish and British. By the way, is that one of the medieval Welsh figures used on the javelin base? Lemmey, another thank you for commissioning this range and making it possible. If I decide to mix some figures in, it is considerably much easier with proper Picts already there (as opposed to conversions on tons of 10mm buggers).

Originally was going to be Hail Cheesy, but now Dux Brittanium/Dux Bellicum or Something...

As a player of both Hail Caesar and Dux Bellorum (Dan Mersey's Osprey one), I think I much prefer Dux for this period. It has more period flavour and isn't full of loop holes.

Clearly you have not been playing Hail Caesar with the type of honourable gentlemen for whom the pastime was devised.

I suppose if you think about it, painted Picts is rather a redundancy!

On the contrary, my lads are great, and I appreciate the flexibility of the rules (we have far too many 6mm armies c.200 BC that we use HC for), I just think that for early Medieval Britain, Dux Bellorum does it better and you don't have to sit and discuss any anomalies as they come up. Because they don't.  ;)

The real questions is whether to start on a third Dux army, and if so, which one...

IW, I see where you are coming from as I use Dux Bellorum and Dux Brittaniarum for post-Roman Britain.
