A small advancement for an unexpected army

This is the latest addition to my small Byzantine army, something that started with a couple of random old Citadel packs that Dave gave me years ago.

Last year he found a whole box of sealed old packs and gave them all to me for painting.

Now I found myself working on a small Byzantine army composed of almost exclusively old Citadel models.

Over the time I also collected some Ral Partha infantry and a decent amount of Price August Vikings to use as Varangian guard, so I should end up with a decent sized (for WAB or other small-ish size game) army.

This is a unit of slingers I prepared in Canada before the move and managed to get painted only recently. I have another 12 slingers to paint, but at the moment I only found 10 of them and will have to wait until I finish unpacking everything from the shipment from Canada to find the remaining 2 models, then I'll finish painting them all.

The remainder of the army will include two units of heavy infantry, more skirmishers, a decent unit fo heavy cavalry, one of cataphracts and few light horse.

I'm looking forward to painting more of these figures, I'll keep you posted with the progress in 2026.
