It would have been better if I had painted or even put the diorama together but these are thanks to Paul Crozier.
Part of my bet win at Britcon.[/url]

Suppose you had better see the varangian Guard, with a lovely St Eligius banner

He was a bit like Thor but a bit more Christian

Very nice Phil,

The only problem is that they rather show up the painting of the rest of your Byzantines

They'll be leaving the fighting to the Varangains and Kataphractoi, hiding at the back out of harms way.

Nice models, where did you get the dogs from?

[philqw78]

The dogs and Varangians are Splintered Light

The dogs are from the Early Saxon listing and the Varangians are a customised bunch of Saxons and post Roman Brits to give a bit of a look of stuff from the Byzantine armoury for some. Heads, shields and weapons have been swapped around/replaced.

LOL! That is excellent! I remember being in Budapest about 15 years ago. There was a huge marketsquare at the foot of one of their historic bridges - I cannot remember the name of the place now. The square was very striking to my Amerikanski eyes because there was a lot of Gothic and Medieval architecture surrounding it, and the stores were all very chic and modern in presentation an offerings.

The point of this ramble is that a portion of the public square featured a massive, whole OX spitted and barbequed, surrounded by . . . metal kegs of lager! It smelled soooooo good. The Hungarians just wandered up to and got pieces carved off like a roast beef, served up in some sort of flat bread roll.

Anyway, I look at you camp and think instinctively "Later Hungarians", lol.
