A selection of images of one of the army's from my Fantasy/Medieval campaign - the Black Legion, which is part of the forces available to the Queen of Lestrigon, who is a powerful sorceress and, at the time of writing, has come to dominate about half of the continent, although not too much by her magical powers as I keep these limited for battles wherever possible. The Black Legion come from Antrustia, a province of Harpagia, which is the core country of the sorceress.

The Black Legion drawn up for battle. The sorceress' colours are black and red, hence the uniforms of the Black Legion. The figures are all old Minifigs or Hinchliffe 25mm metal Romans or Greeks, plus some Hat 25mm hard plastics Arabs.

Medium cavalry, ex-Minifigs Romans from many years ago. The unit at the back has been converted to swords rather than spears, the latter all having broken off in storage or while in the possession of my nephews some years back!

The heavyweight element of the Black Legion, spear-armed hoplites and legionaries.
All ex-Hinchliffe 25mm, the legionaries have been converted to spears as almost all their pila had broken off (nephews and storage as well!).

Cataphracts with lance and bow, all ex-Hinchliffe Roman 25mm.

The guard infantry element of the Black Legion - ex-Hinchliffe Roman 25mm auxiliaries.

Crossbowmen, the figures are Hat 25mm Arabs and some unknown metal 25mm medieval figures sent to me by a friend who had emigrated to the USA many years ago.

A unit of javelinmen, all Hat 25mm Arabs.

A couple of light catapults, 25mm Hinchliffe.
