Dux Belorum- Saxon Duguth



Work on the Saxons continues. This time some of the Musketeer Duguth. Lovely figures, their only issues being the open hands which are a pain to glue spears to- I decided to use a 5 minute epoxy rather than superglue and although ti gives a much stronger bond it is also a lot fiddlier to work with.  It was worth it in the end though as the bond is much stronger, so hopefully they last longer.

I need to add to more units of these guys are the ordinary warriors/shieldwall.

    1. Hi Michael

      We adopted the basing conventions you used for DBA several years ago :)

      8cm widths, 5cm depth for close order troops, 6cm deep for lighter infantry/warband types

      4 cm for skirmishers

      We typically put 6 figures on a base: 4 in the front rank, 2 in the rear but sometimes go for 7-8 figures instead.
