15mm Republican Roman Velites

 The next bunch of figures off the production line are thirty-two elements of velites, the highly-skilled light troops of the middle to late Republican Roman era:

The figures are Xyston with four poses in each pack, wearing a variety of headwear:

I was initially confused as to what one of them was, until I looked in the Osprey Republican Roman book and realised it had been modeled on a badger, as shown on the figure on the left below:

Quite a few of the Xyston figures appear to have been based upon the Osprey depictions which makes the job of painting much easier. As for the figures wearing the wolf skin, I mixed these up to indicate wolves and foxes, just to provide a bit more variety:

I am pleased with the overall result and, at three points an element in DBMM, expect that a large proportion of these will make the table at some stage:

Next up some leves, which are essentially the earlier version of the velites.
