Early German Cavalry

 







Here are some Early German cavalry that I've just finished painting. They're great figures by Wargames Foundry and look suitably fierce and hirsute! The shields are mainly hand painted, with a few LBM transfers. I swapped these figures years ago for some Vendel Persian cavalry and have finally got around to finishing them off. I have made a start on quite a few more cavalry and infantry units for my Early Germans with a real mix of ranges both plastic and metal.

    1. Thanks Codsticker, the Gabrielle Esposito book Armies of the Germanic Peoples and the Lindsay Powell Osprey book Roman Soldier versus Germanic Warrior are good sources for the shield designs.
