Ancient British 15mm DBA Army

The summer holiday afforded me time to paint up an Ancient British DBA army (an Xmas present from Andy, from Essex Miniatures), complete with lots of woad and based to represent the swamps and forests of this green and pleasant land.  The camp is a scratch built homage to Stonehenge.  The general's element represents Cassivellaunus, although I'm trying to source a suitable Boudicca figure in 15mm.  The only missing element choice is an element of Hordes which can represent sacrificing Druids or wailing women from Tacitus' account of the invasion of Anglesey.  Again, have not yet managed to source suitable figures.

The complete army (from which to choose 12 elements in DBA).
