Competition win!

Jonathan Freitag ran a  competition celebrating five years of his blog. Rather  surprisingly I was one of the winners. Following on from my previous post about planning I chucked that out of the window and started a new period "Arthur and the Anglo saxon wars " it's probably my favourite Osprey book so I used Jonathans voucher at Newline to buy nine late Roman cavalry.
I bought Dux Bellorum by Dan Mersey when it came out and have really fancied it but not had the figures so now I've started ,plus I picked up two german warbands and three packs of late Romans from black Tree Design at colours and a pack of late roman gripping beast plastics and dark age warriors  and a box of footsore Arthur and mounted companions plus various bits and bobs I already had.
So  a new unplanned period beckons, what can I say, I'm weak and I am hoping to use them for lion rampant and maybe saga so that's alright then!
   
Look at what I won! 
Haven't finished anything recently, decorating my new kitchen has been eating free time and any I have had has been prepping, priming and building but I've had access to a printer so I should be able finish some French napoleonic line infantry soon. 
All the best Iain

    Good luck with your Late Romans and Germans! Dux Bellorum is a great set of rules.

    Congrats on the win! 😀

    Arthur has been an interest of mine since reading the Bernard Cromwell trilogy. I'll like watching this project take shape. I've recently started following this blog and it's great! 😀

    I've played DB and LR, and I think that LR is a much better game, though you should try it for yourself.

      Thanks Stew, oh I like LR, it's just I've fancied DB since it came out, and thanks for the nice words about the blog.
