28mm Visigoth Army

The 28mm Visigoth army I started at the beginning of lockdown is almost complete. The infantry are a kit-bashed mix of Gripping Beast, Warlord and Victrix (Viking) plastic figures. Also some extra Roman shields and heads I took from the GB Roman Light Cavalry box. The Command is from Footsore and all the Goth Cavalry are Gripping Beast.

I really enjoyed putting these together and painting them. So much variation. From what I read in the background, many of the Visigoths had seen service in the late Roman army so I wanted the collection to reflect that. I know there may be some quibbles over historical accuracy (regarding moustaches over beards) but I had such a large amount of plastics spare and unpainted it presented an opportunity to put them to good use in a single army. I suppose I'll have to do the Romans next!!
