Boudicca












Here's a quick post from the archives today - Boudicca, Queen of the Iceni and one of her chieftains in a chariot. This is my take on the Warlord figures and the other chariot, horses and crew are by Renegade Miniatures. We played a Hail Caesar game of the Battle of Watling Street, a few years ago, and the Romans just managed, to hold on for once!

  2. Thanks Jonathan, yes the Renegade ranges were very fine, big and chunky, pity they're not doing business anymore.

  4. Cracking mate, I do like those a lot.

    Yet to paint mine, still in the pile was thinking about portraying a crash or the like with two chariots on the one impetus base!

    Cheers

    1. Thanks Matt, the wide Impetus base gives you plenty of scope for an interesting diaroma with chariots.

  5. Super looking pair of chariots, I almost bought the Boudicca one even though I didn't have an army for it and you've done a great job of it! The renegade chariot is appreciably larger isn't it?

    1. Thanks Iain, I use my Celts for Britons, Gauls and Galatians. The Renegade figures are definitely larger than most, still excellent figures.
