Saxons

The gens Lambshead comes from South Devon, Ilsington on the edge of Dartmoor to be precise, since at least the late 15th Century. The paterfamilias of the Lambshead clan has often been called John. A John Lambshead is buried under the pulpit in Islington Church and another John lambshead took the loyal oath for his hundred after the Restoration. Although, I have to confess that I come from the branch of the family that emigrated to London.

All of which is a long-winded way of introducing the fact that I am a West Saxon and so have decided to build a Saxon warband for Dark Age Wargaming. First twenty off the 'ole production line shown above.

Hail Britannia - Romans

   Taking some pics of a two legion Roman army as it might be used to attack a hill fort in Hail Brittannia. Unfortunately it is too late in the day (2pm) for the picture window in my house to let enough light in on BST so the quality ain't there. Will have to reshoot on the next sunny morning.

   Still thought it might be fun to post it: six units of Legionnaires (one veteran), four units of medium auxilliary infantry (one as a small unit), one light artillery unit, one medium cavalry with spears, and one light cavalry with javelins.
