The Forces of Hyperborea - The Picts

 The Forces of Hyperborea 

The Picts


The Pict force: 

Generals
Cy-Ril Head Shaman (Magician general 4 points)
Ki-Eth Warchief (Warband general 2 points)
Troops
Five units of Braves (Warbands 2 points)
Six units of Hunters (Shooters 2 points)
One unit of Shamans (Magicians 4 points)
One unit of Heroes (Hero 4 points)
Four units of Wolves (Beasts 2 points)

The catalyst for my journey into, my take on, Hyperborea stemmed from two things.  The first as I mentioned in my previous post was pulling out my copy of Hordes of the Things and the second was Mark Copplestones` amazing 15mm Picts.  The figures really got under my skin and I had to paint them.  I may have also picked up some of his Barbarians to represent the forces of Cimmeria.  More on that front in the future.

In Hordes of the Things an army consists of 24 points with a maximum of 12 points being made up of 3 or 4 point units.  I have painted up 36 points worth of troop choices and two choices of generals, which should keep the Picts interesting as a force.

  1. That's a very nice Pictish army - I really like Mark Copplestone's figures too.
