I have posted this past week a number of barbarian tribes to face Rome in Britain. Picts – link Caledones – link
Brigantes – link Next week, the Carpi and Later Moors. |

I prefer the HotT version of Brigantes – collarless shirt armour and cloth cap helmets with a unit of whippets and a section of suicide pigeons. |

Inspired by the "Empire" novels by Riches, I have Vixens with mastiff for DBA use (Ps) and swarms of angry bee for HOTT, but suicide pigeons maybe interesting. |

Nicely done armies – fodder for those stalwart sons of Imperial Rome! |

I've been working on re-doing my Picts to seem more appropriate for the fast pike classification they now receive. They did well in their last outings against the Romans. |

Of course, Seneca says that the Brigantes have blue shields, "caeruleos scuta Brigantas". Sorry, just thought I'd put that in to annoy you :-) |

GurKhan, Ha, ha, no worries there. Seneca wrote at a time when the British still revered their two-wheeled, two horse powered Cadillac as the cat's meow. However, Tacitus does mention a later revolt as nearly been won by a female leader in addition to the revolt of 155 – 157 AD. Knowing women and their penchant for colour, I am not so sure "blue" would have remained in fashion long. (still smiling). Cheers, |
