2 doz infantry, giving me either 2 units for Lion Rampant, or 3 groups for the new Too Fat Lardies ancient rules Infamy, Infamy! Plus a 6 figure unit of archers and a spare leader.
Notice the detail on this senior officer. The pectoral plate on his armour has a figure of Mars! Same on the greaves.
Shields were done with Little Big Man Studios transfers. I do like painting shields but I wanted a very elaborate design, like what I see in the pictorial reconstructions in my books.
Some of the reds I achieved by using red airbrush paint over my usual brown undercoat instead of separate shade and highlight tones.
But now that I've figured out how I want these guys to look, and the super busy training period with Air Cadets is almost done, the rest should go quite quickly.

Great work! I thought the TFL rules were Disciplina et Virtus?
ReplyDeleteThat was a draft title, but Richard decided Latin was kind of pretentious and easily duffed. And gaining fame and infamy points is a thing as your big man climbs the political ladder
DeleteSuper work on these, they turned out great!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I may have to get some Romans and hairy barbarians now. TFL have a number of interesting games in the pipeline that are awfully tempting.
ReplyDeleteLovely figures after painting. The shield transfers do work really well. I am looking forward to seeing them in action.
ReplyDeleteVery nice job; that is excellent progress over the past month. I really like those archers in mail; they look very "eastern."
ReplyDeleteThey are quite splendid, and the shield transfers add a lot. Are they 2nd century AD, about the time of Trajan, or later?
ReplyDelete3rd cent. Roughly AD 190-260 ish.
DeleteMarcus Aurelius, Severus, bunch of tossers who messed things up.
DeleteGaul and Britain sometimes having their own Emperors. Zenobia in Palmyra.
