Anglo Danish Huscarls/Fryd Fourth Unit Finito!

It has been slow progress of late on the painting table. I wont dwell on this. I just needed to say it "out loud" for the sake of my own sanity. Back to the toys.
The fourth unit of Anglo Danes have now happily been completed. That is four out of the projected six and one unit of Norse as allies. I have another five Shieldwall Markers, four 40mm x 40mm Command and 12 bases of Skirmisher types to complete. I'm going be kind to myself and say that I'm just shy of being half way through the army. :>)
In order to keep things fresh on the painting table and with a view to hopefully putting on a game later this year at a show [fingers tightly crossed] I have decided to switch back over to my Early Byzantines for a while. Since returning to the hobby last November and having found a new "discipline" to my painting regime I feel confident that both projects will be completed by October this year, in so far as any wargames project is ever completed! I have been in communication with Keith from Aventine Miniatures who has provided me with clues as to what is planned for release with their spectacular Early Byzantine Range. If you are interested in the Eastern Romans/Early Byzantines you really must take a look at this very high quality range.
Back to the Anglo Danes.....
As mentioned earlier it has been slow going of late but the unit if finally varnished and based. This particular unit is my favourite out of all the Anglo Danish units I have painted thus far (all four lol). The mini taking the arrow in the chest along with the mini catching an arrow in his shield have set off the unit nicely without having what is arguably too dominant a feature such as some of my earlier casualties on the stands which took up most of the space on a base.
I have a load of images of the individual bases In the interests of keeping the post relatively short I will post up these later if there is any interest.

Thanks guys. More to come but it's back to the Early Byzantines; Justinian to Heraclius so lots to paint as armours and fashions changed quite a bit in that time frame.
