Ride the Bull

With the trip to Devizes planned for tomorrow I thought it best to do a quick update before I overload on new things to paint. I've completed some more pieces for the Mythic Battles / Basilea Army and now I have the cavalry underway the Basilea should be ready to play in the near future.

The first man up is Gnaeus Sallustis who is a unique hero and part of the Holy Lancers formation, along with two Regiments of Knights. The formation gives all three units Elite for only 30 points which is a bargain. The model is one of the Macedonian heavy cavalry stuck onto the Reaper Bones Bronze Bull I already had. Gnaeus is tough, fast and nimble making him a good candidate for hitting flanks. Being a Large Cavalry unit means he can see over most units and his speed and nimble should open up flank charge options for him.

I also completed three more Gods namely Hecate, Helios, & Hades. I enjoyed Helios and Hades the most with the whip of Helios and shield of Hades being particular favourites.

The three of them join the others to complete two Hordes of Elohi and one Ur-Elohi. These troops add more fast moving and hard hitting capability to the Basilean army with the fact they are all Inspiring and Fearless with Iron Resolve making them hard to kill as well. The Ur-Elohi also has access to the common spells as he had Heal as a default option, potentially making the unit a very mobile caster platform.

EDIT : Quick Raiding Season update, we played the 8th turn with the scenario being Crossing the River and the result being the Normans gave my Rus a proper going over with a clear victory and all three bonus abilities going to the Normans.
