Lombards!

 Allied heavy cavalry for my early Byzantine army, figures from Aventine Miniatures, LBMS shield transfers on a base from Warbases.


There will be some action in 1940 France here in OHQ next week, meanwhile check out this weeks game over on Dave’s blog, https://talesfromghq.blogspot.com/2025/04/the-fury-of-northmen.html

Until next time……..KBO

  4. Cracking looking unit, the brushwork is really top notch and very nicely based. Nice looking figures not seen them before, they are rather good.

  7. A great looking unit and pretty hirsute. Were Lombards well known for their luxurious locks and beards? I have to admit I know next to nothing about them.

  8. The name is derived from the word Langobards which literally means "the people with long beards"

  9. Lovely work as always Phil…
    I have these on my ever increasing pile of toys waiting patiently for my eye problems to go away.
    The hornist really looks like he is taking out his frustrations/fury on the poor fellow at the end of the line 🤣
