Putting together an King Arthur DBA army 3/2/81a. Have Essex figures but need spearmen -- 5 x pedyt (Sp). Most of my figures are Patrician/Late Romans but what to use for the Romano-British spearmen? In 28 mm these guys are a good model to follow

If you want to stick with Essex, I'd recommend a mix of Welsh Heavy Spearmen (WA2), Late Roman Legionaries (RA51 and/or RA51A), and Dark Ages Western European spearmen (DGS5 and/or DGS6). |

I used the Essex Late Romans and removed the helmet combs,
The suggestions above are a good pool to pull from. |

Chris and MS, thanks for the suggestions. I ordered a ready made Essex army for King Arthur and they sent me Saxon war band for the pedyt.

Another source (although I'm not sure how well they mix with Essex, would be Splintered Light's Romano-Brits link and in particular, their heavy sword and spear infantry. |
