Hi C.G.Romus.

I did not realize that when I described a painting by Mc Bride with Germanic warriors amongst Roman ruins that he had painted a number of versions on that theme. Sorry C.G.R that is another version, possibly from a Concord publication I guess. No, I am sure that the picture I mean has never been published in any book only the Military Illustrated article. It shows two mounted Germans with a third sitting in the foreground. They are surrounded by broken Roman columns upon one of which sits the trademark bird!

Hi Robert,
this is the picture I asked Arthes for some time ago - she had the head of the left warrior as her avatar then and I didn't know it at all. So does this mean, that it had never been part of an Osprey, Montvert, Concord-publication?

This picture of the goths amongst ruins is published only in the book "Warriors & Warlords; The Art of Angus McBride" with foreword by Martin Windrow. It is a large hardback and published by Osprey.....
Hope this helped,

Aha! - Robert, since it was you that made the avatars, perhaps you could tell me where you found this one?:

Yet again! Clearly this book is a fountain of wonders and I should get it at once.
Thanks Robert!

Nathan,
You really should, IMHO it is one of the best books illustrated by McBride, nearly every picture (20 large pictures covering a side each!) is a splendid model for a diorama

The links to European sites don't seem to work. It's listed here at £14.99, which seems reasonable. I shall place an order forthwith...

You will not regret it. My favorite picture is on page 22-23 "Auxiliaries of a Cohors Equitata in action, Northern Britain c.118AD. Although it seems to me the action is pretty much over...
