My 10mm Caesar's Gallic War Project will be based around Caesar's Gallic Wars waged by the Roman proconsul Julius Caesar against several Gallic tribes. Rome's war against the Gallic tribes lasted from 58 BC to 50 BC and culminated in the decisive Battle of Alesia in 52 BC, in which a complete Roman victory resulted in the expansion of the Roman Republic over the whole of Gaul mainly present day France and Belgium. The wars paved the way for Julius Caesar to become the sole ruler of the Roman Republic.
This project actually came into being because of my persistent nagging at my daughter's boyfriend. Constantly trying to get him into wargaming well I certainly succeeded he decided on buying some Republican Romans from Pendraken now. Now as I've got plenty of other projects on the go I just didn't have any time to devote to this luckily a 10mm Pendraken Gallic army came up for auction on eBay and I was lucky enough to be able to buy this.
Between 58 BC and 50 BC, the military might of the Roman Republic waged a brutal war on the Gallic Celt tribes living in the lands of Gaul. What the Gaul warriors lacked in the drilled discipline of their Roman foes they more than matched them with in ferocity and individual fighting prowess. The Gallic Wars, a deadly clash of cultures and military doctrine, would shape Western Europe for centuries to come. Gaius Julius Caesar’s aggressive campaign would ultimately end with Gaul being subsumed into the Roman Republic, and ensure his name would become legendary.
Caesarian Roman Army.
The rules we will be using are Hail Caesar Rules, Britannia Hail Caesar Supplement, Germania Hail Caesar Supplement, Age of Caesar Hail Caesar Supplement and Hail Caesar Army Lists - Biblical & Classical Supplement.
The core of the army has been built using Pendraken Miniatures and Magister Militum Miniatures other manufacturers which I intend using are Eureka Miniatures, Kallistra Miniatures, Newline Design, Steve Barber Models, The Baggagetrain, Lancer Miniatures.

I'm very lucky to have such a good friend in Malcolm Taylor who has just made me a temple for my ancients.
Stonehenge this was made by my very good friend Malcolm Taylor for my Celts and I think you will all agree it's just brilliant.
The last thing for my Gauls was a hillfort which is now completed.
Some buildings, the first two are from Battleground Scenery Buildings, the second lot of is from Kallistra Buildings and thirdly some building from The BaggageTrain Buildings.
Some roman slaves to serve the celtic nobility. let that be a warning for any other unprovoked attacks.

3 mounted Gallic/Celtic generals.

Some more skirmishers completed for my Gallic/Celtic army. I've not got much more to finish the army now. one more lot of skirmishers, one lot of light cavalry, some command bases and few odds and ends.
Here's a Gallic/Celtic warband painted by a very good friend Malcolm Taylor. Also two other fantastic mates have also painted warbands for me, Andy Hamilton and Steve Graham. I would just like to say thank you very much.
My British chariots are now completed.
July 2014
A unit of Gallic/Celtic slingers completed for my Celtic army which is growing very nicely now.
3 units of Gallic/Celtic wardogs completed they just need feeding on some nice and tasty Romans.
Another Gallic/Celtic division completed that now makes 28 warbands to stop the invading Romans plus a few units of dogs which should be ready by the 21st.
My order has arrived today from Eureka Miniatures I'm extremely impressed with them they will make fantastic wardogs for my Gallic/Celtic hordes. Romans beware of the dogs enter at your own risk, actually do enter they need feeding.
