Having recently re-read Robert Graves' 'Count Belisarius' and seeing the new range of Cromarty Forge Late Romans, I was inspired to paint up an Early Byzantine army for DBA 3.0.
The figures are a mix of Cromarty Forge (for the cavalry), Gladiator (for the huns, light archers and skutatoi) and Forged in Battle (for the auxilia and Goths). As per usual the figures are painted in acrylics and gloss varnished.

| The skutatoi (legionaries) |

| Allied Light Horse |

| Belisarius' cavalry, armed with lance and bow - plastic figures by Cromarty Forge |
