I knew this Republican Roman army was going to be a slog, but I feel as though I have broken the back of it with the completion of twenty-eight elements of Principes, totaling one hundred and twelve figures. Four of the units are spear-armed, shown here with some earlier completed command stands:
I must have over-ordered by one packet, so included them as extra elements for one of the legions:
I also completed one unit armed with pila for use with the later Marian Roman DBMM list:
This now represents the legionaries completed, and means I am around two-thirds of the way through the army.
I am planning on hauling out the remainder of the legionaries for a group photo while I have the scenery backdrop in place, to hopefully provide me with enough motivation to push the remaining third of the project over the line.
You sure can paint, Lawrence! Great looking Romans, en masse too! The shields really make hem pop.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan, the Little Big Men transfers take a bit of effort in terms of cutting and positioning, but are worth the effort.
DeleteBeautiful paint job! Very nice bright colors!
ReplyDeleteThanks Biblicrafts, I think the shields really do provide that splash of colour.
DeleteMore beautiful looking diminutive Ancients Lawrence - look forward to seeing some of your collection featuring in a game sometime!
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith. We do game, honestly we do, it's just that we forget to take photos!
DeleteSuperb additions to your Legions, Lawrence! I don't think I could do anywhere near that many shield transfers, but they do look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter. The secret for me is distracting myself with some decent podcasts while I do them. That way I'm not thinking about the monotony of it all.
