Roman Equites

Finished the cavalry contingent for my Roman Cohors Equitata, getting the last bits finished the morning of Christmas Eve just as Mrs. Rabbitman got home from work and prep for the holiday began. Because staying in the basement when Mrs. R could use some help with measuring and stirring would result in a not very merry holiday.

While painting I decided that this signum with the scorpio badge just looked too Praetorian to me.

So I clipped it off and glued on a draco from the Gripping Beast Gothic cavalry set.

Some close up shots:

There wasn't a round buckler transfer for the draconarius, and I didn't want to leave the shield plain, so I had to free hand a simplified design to help him match the rest.

I'm also really liking the striped standard poles.

Flower tufts are from Shadows Edge. Grass tufts are a mix of Shadows Edge, Army Painter and Woodland Scenics field grass clipped to length and stuck down in a blob of gel superglue.
