Another Batch of Romans… I
thought this would be the last, but I found a few more I thought I’d paint up
as individually-based skirmishin’ figures (they were originally earmarked for
potential DBA armies… but I don’t think I’ll ever get around to doing a FIFTH
Early Imperial Roman Army… so…)
(Remember: click on the pictures
for a bigger version):
This weeks work… Mostly Roman
Soldiers.
One batch of Roman legionnaires – these are a mix of figures
from Gripping
Beast and (I think…) a few really old Citadel Miniatures.
Next Batch of Romans – this time with a few Auxiliaries in
the mix – again Gripping Beast and
the old Citadel and the two Auciliary spearmen… I have no idea… got them in a
trade.
Last batch of Romsn Soldiers – these are all old Citadel
Miniatures (I think…).
A few Greeks – the Archer is
from Black Tree
Design, the dead Spartan I got in a pack from Warlord
Games and the other fellow, that I initially also thought was a
casualty – but I now think is actually just a drunk lying in the street, was
from Wargames Foundry
(could be handy for Song
of Shadows and Dust - possibly instead of an “Irritable Mule” I could
have and “Angry Drunk Lying in the Street”)
An Irritable Mule and some
Pigeons – which I will be using for Song
of Shadows and Dust.
One more ancient Roman citizen –
a young lad from Wargames
Foundry
Coming soon on Tim’s Miniature Wargaming Blog:
I’d like to get in another game
of Song
of Shadows and Dust, but the kids have also been trying to convince
me to run a Tale
of Blades and Heroes/A
Song of Blades and Heroes campaign set in the world of the
Ancient/Mythical Greeks…
I have hoped to be done with
painting Romans this week, but I have a few more to finish up… I had be
planning to start in on the Egyptians and Nubians this next week, but I’ve got
a handful of Greek on the go… perhaps after them I’ll get going on the
Egyptians and Nubians.
Nice EIR troops; love the mule and birdies too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean!
DeleteHand painted EIR shields? You have my respect mate. Now get yourself some professional help!
ReplyDeleteThanks Millsy! I can't help it, I'm just too cheap to pay money to buy something (shield transfers) when I physically can just paint them myself... Oh, I know it would be WAY quicker... but... I dunno.... I had real troubles with putting decals on the plastic models in my youth and somehow I just have this irrational dislike of decals....
DeleteI was going to say the same thing about the shields, awesome freakin work! Were there any kind of molded outlines on the shields, or is that all straight paint work?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThere were moulded outlines on the old Citadel miniatures - but they were even MORE complicated and detailed so I just ignored them and painted over them with whatever I felt like/could fit on the sheild...
