28mm Gauls for Impetus-CAV1







here are pics of gallic cav1

28mm Gauls for Impetus

Just finished rebasing some old , old glory Gauls for Impetus. Currently have 2 medium cav, 9 light foot warbands, and 2 light foot Gaesati warbands. All I need to do now is base some skirmishers(and maybe buy the full rules, and find an opponent, and find time to play). I really like this range of old glory- very dynamic,many different poses. So far thats 176 infantry and 24 cavalry(all with different hand painted shields-whew) based up. Still have 30 slingers and 29 archers painted, waiting to be based...1 of my poor archers died in the maw of a crazed Shitz-Tu.
very hard to see detail at this range...I may post individual unit pics later.

New Kingdom Egyptian army for Impetus





















Well, I have finished my New Kingdom Egyptian army for Basic Impetus.






The figures are 1/72 Caesar miniatures, consisting of 3 separate boxes of figures.






I am very impressed with Caesar's range and commitment to the chariot period,






and what great figures! It is primarily Caesar and the advent of plastic primer spraypaint






that enticed me back to the scale of my youth.






The army for Basic Impetus consists of 4 units of light chariots; 2 units of heavy infantry;






2 archer units;and 1 poor unit of archer skirmishers.I have chosen to use 2 chariots per element,although the rules only called for one. I plan on adding some sparse vegetation to the bases as soon as I figure out how to make it look good. As I figure out his blog thing a little more each time, I may even one day post a battle report.
