Like any other Pict army
list you have ever read this one is extremely speculative. It is intended to
represent the confederation at the height of its power. I’m inclined to see a
division between major raiding forces that will comprise mainly of fighting
elites with some lesser souls along to do the drudgery and home defence where
everyone who is entitled to fight is turned out. The latter are indicated with
an *.
It is quite a horsey army because that is where the
evidence points us. All of the cavalry can use Drungus formation. I have
also made the aristocrats formidable fighters because that was a requirement of
their social position.
There are chariots as there is some evidence that
they were still in use and also because they add to the fun. If all the
chariots are used, they can form a Big
Unit albeit one of the normal 4 bases.
The lesser aristocracy are also horsemen and are equally
skilled with weapons if not quite so determined to fight hand to hand as the
real bosses.
The infantry are the free farmers, part time warriors but
still willing. Some of them will have
taken part in the major raids on Britannia
and are more experienced and so are Stubborn. Pict spear men can form Big Units.
Archers can fire overhead, skirmish or simply form a line.

It is possible that a Warrior cult was in existence prior to the conversion if you favour that there are two units of its devotees.

ReplyDeleteThanks lads, I've finished some Minifigs cavalry too but need to complete the bases. They'll turn up in the next post.
