New Mini-Project: Dux Britanniarum

I have been tapped out on painting Napoleonic figures the last month. So decided to start a new small project. I wanted to do something dis-similar to Napoleonic's but small in scope.
So pretty much any Horse and Musket era was out. Also not keen on any of the 'Moderns' as I already have much of that.

At first I was leaning towards a SAGA warband as it is gamed at the store and generally a small warband. But while I generally like the SAGA rules, I find they get repetitive.

I have always been keen on the Arthurian legend, so took a look at Dux Britanniarum rules from Too Fat Lardies ... Sold!

I went ahead and ordered up a Saxon raiding force from Gripping Beast which is about 45 figures. I am patiently waiting for the figures to show, as I am looking forward to painting up some chainmail and earthy colors, with a splash of color throw in.

What I am up to waiting for the figures to show.

    Now Dux is mostly a campaign game isn't it? Are you planning on maybe running one?

      Most likely ... have to get the figures, then paint them up before we start. Steve is doing up the British and he just started school again so not sure how fast he will get his 35 figures done though.

    I'd be interested in such a campaign

      Keep an eye out for updates on it ... still have to do the figures and most likely get a game or two in before starting whole hog on a campaign.
