My second chariot model of my Briton Army for Infamy! Infamy! is Boudicca Queen of the Iceni, and will double as commanding leader of the army too.
Boudicca led the revolt againts the Romans in 60/61 BC, putting to fire St Albans, London and Colchester until finally defeated by Gaius Suetonius Paulinus in the Battle of Watling Street.
This is a Wargames Foundry superbly sculpted metal model from its Briton range in 28mm. Both the driver and the Boudicca mini are very detailed and easy to paint, a real joy.
Next, I'm planning to finish the thrid chariot of the unit and then move to the foot warriors.

From BenitoM: Gallic Chariot for Infamy!
Second entry in the Quarantine Challenge: the first of four chariots of a Celtic Briton Chariot unit for "Infamy! Infamy!".
In these rules, chariots do not act as "shock" units but rather as "taxi cabs" to bring elite noble units into battle. This enables a quick deployment in the battlefield, but also facilitates withdrawing to recover if the unit accumulates excessive shock.
A Chariot unit comprises 3 chariots plus also a mounted leader. This particular model is a pretty old (late 80s or early 90s)25 mm metal Wargames Foundry Celtic Chariot, that has gone through the process of paint removal and repaint, as the rest of my army.
I had two of those old chariots, so I recenltly acquired two additional chariot models from a more modern design (and size) that currently are queuing in my painting tray to be completed.

From BenitoM: The Old Hag
First entry to the Quarantine Challenge, another character for Infamy! Infamy!: The Old Hag.
I also painted a small shrine where my Barabarian troops could do their offerings in blood to their ancient gods. This could well serve as a deployment point or an objective in any game.
Stay safe, stay at home

"An old Hag is a retinue member who may join a Barbarian Warlord. Some say she has magical
powers. Some say she has visions of the future. What is certain is that she smells of piss and
inspires the men to great fervour. Adding the Old Hag to your retinue makes your Leader and
Inspirational Leader. She is placed with the overall Barbarian Commander and operates with him
throughout the game."

The model and the horse head are part of the Foundry "Germanic Woman" series, metal in 28mm. Excellent sculpting an detail a usual in this range.
