ALY MORRISON'S "BUTTERFLY" ADVENTURES IN THE WORLD OF WARGAMES AND TOY SOLDIERS

Late Romans… Rebasing… Huns.

Greetings…

Yup! Another post and it is still July 😁.

Here is one more rebased unit for this project…

Hun Light Cavalry… Depending on what rules I use these could be one normal sized unit or two small ones…

These fellows took a bit more sprucing than the previous units , mainly because I decided to brighten up the tunic colours a bit and hand paint the shields.

There is another unit like this one waiting to be worked on and I might pick up some castings to do a few more…I think Huns work better in Hordes.

All the best.  Aly

    Fine work once again and Huns do certainly work best as a Horde force.

    They look quite dandy in their spruced up attire and shields.

    You are definitely "on the wave" Aly! Really nice unit, but as you say, Huns work better in hordes, so you need more ;-)

    Best wishes,
    Jan

    Nice, these look like they've 'holstered' their bows and are going in for the kill, perhaps a shooting horde next to shoot 'em in?

    The Huns look nice now. They were a bit battered but they are over 20 years old, having been painted for me by Matt while he was at University.

      I am glad to have given these venerable old troops a new lust for life/war/pillage…

      As long is I don’t command them they will certainly roll high.

    Always liked Huns but never really worked out a way of painting them that I liked. A long time ago they used to be quite popular - was it Bob O'Brien that had one? Don't think I ever met him. Story about Ian Beck though. In early WRG rules there was a formation allowed called a Cantabrian Circle. Basically light cavalry could form a circle in front of opponents. Anyway, Ian used it a lot so he based his Huns facing different directions so that they looked right when doing a Cantabrian Circle. People started complaining because they could never work out which direction they were facing normally! Happy days.

      I remember using the Cantabrian Circle in WRG…
      If I remember correctly you got a minus on being hit because you were moving,you could shoot your bows and you could evade if charged…

      All the best. Aly

    They may look better in Hordes but I think they're happier in Hoards.

      Hoards of Hordes seems to be the way to go…😁
