The Germans are coming,the Germans are coming!

As part of my ever expanding Gallic campaign,(which is slowly taking over my life!) I have decided to incorporate a migration/invasion from Germania into Gaul,so that not only can I have Germans fighting Romans,but I can also have Germans fighting Gauls!!-where will it end? The first "batch" of Germans that I have painted are from the Suebi (Suevi?) tribe .............................

Twelve warbands of infantry and three units of cavalry-the infantry take a bit of cleaning up,but the end result is worth it.

Detail of the infantry-note the traditional Suebi "Hair knot".

According to "Tacitus" they attacked in a wedge formation-I don't fancy the chances of the guys in the front rank!!!-But what of the rest of the Germans?

Well,they're on their way-twelve warbands of infantry and four units of cavalry-more than a match for both Romans and Gauls!!!(Only some of them shown here-rest are on painting table,under-coated and ready to go!)
