I put this army together after getting a good deal on some Foundry
Late Roman Spearmen. Though not the best supplement for WAB IMO, I used the
Fall of the West army list to create this army. The mixture of figures from
Foundry, Gripping Beast and Old Glory fit together nicely, even within units.
And kudos to Darren at Gripping Beast in the UK who allowed me to mix and
match packs in the Late Roman Cavalry package to get the mixture I wanted…great
company to do business with and I highly recommend them.
I also have to give high praise to Dark Age Design for their shield decals.
They look great!
The army consists of: 10 skirmishing infantry, 2 units of 24 infantry (18
spear, 6 bow), 2 units of 16 infantry (I usually upgrade these to light armor,
drilled, and heavy throwing spears as the Veterans are too expensive IMO),
2 units of 12 archers, 10 Hunnic light cavalry, 10 Roman horse archers, 10
Roman light cavalry, 10 Roman heavy cavalry, 12 Roman Cataphracts, a General,
and an Army Standard Bearer.
