Growing Gothic Horde

After a bit of a hiatus where other things were distracting my attention, I've gotten two units of Gothic warriors finished for Midgard.

I realized that if I added 6 old Wargames Factory Germans that I'd painted for the Rohirrim, I could squeak a 4th unit out of my box of Wargames Atlantic Goths and utilize the two figures that would end up left over.

Tunics and trousers are pretty simple. But this time I've added some coloured embroidery at cuffs, neck and hem on a few.

Mostly WGA with a couple of WF mixed in

To indicate that the warriors have an integral missile capability I've put an archer in the back of each unit. This was apparently something the Goths did and Simon McDowell in his books touching on the Gothic campaigns mentions Roman writers speaking of Gothic archery causing problems for the Romans.

A muster of finished troops shows I'm close to a respectable little host. Five units of warriors, four units of cavalry, four dismounted heroes.

I have the figures on hand to make two more units of warriors, two units of skirmishers with bows and slings, one more unit of cavalry and three mounted heroes are almost finished.
