28mm WAB action Late Romans vs a barbarian conspiracy.

Thursday night club  action.  My 28mm Late Romans taking on Si G's central European Barbarian hordes using WAB historical ancients rules.


Four legionary units and Cataphracts in the centre, 4 Scorpions, a unit each of Lanciarii and shock cavalry on the left, units of shock cavalry, horse archers and Lanciarii on the right.


I didnt pay for leaders for the cavalry or standards for any of the units, which meant I was one down on each combat, wont make that mistake again.  Now to source some Hun allies for their Parthian shot ability.


Fun to play and the table looked great.  The Barbarians definitely had the upper hand after 5 turns.

Thanks for looking.

    1. Absolutely. They did much better in the next round once ably led and with suitable rallying standards, although those Sassanid Clibinarii are hard to beat.
