Dark Ages Irish Cavalry and Slingers

 

Here are some Dark Ages or Early Medieval Irish cavalry and slingers. I painted the cavalry some time ago but have just finished the slingers. Figures are by Crusader Miniatures and Gripping Beast with some LBM shield transfers. I'm working on some Irish infantry at the moment, I have a reasonable size painted Viking army but need to finish painting their opponents. Byzantines, Irish, Anglo-Saxons, Welsh, Scots/Picts and Rus are all waiting to be finished!

I want to put in a plug for Frank Sultana's Blood on the Sands Kickstarter, which has just started and is almost full funded. These are excellent Gladiator rules for one on one combat. For $145 AUD you get the core box set which includes rules, dice, tokens and plastic gladiators. Well worth supporting if you're interested in gladiator rules, they've been extensively play tested and Frank has been researching and working on them for over ten years. Highly recommended!
