Even though I've got a lovely army of A&A metal 3rd century Romans I just like the look of the era so much I need more of them. A connection on Bluesky has been making a 3rd century army and convinced me that, yes, the Wargames Atlantic Late Romans, with the appropriate helmet, are fit for puropose.
I got these finished early in December along with some Goths, but I was waiting on the shield transfers. The shields are part of the look for me and set them apart from earlier and later legionaries.
The transfers are from
Relic Miniatures in British Columbia. They are water slide and need to be carefully cut and the space for the shield boss has to be cut out as well.
Each sheet of 12 shield designs comes with an appropriate vexillum. 8 of the shields are fairly uniform, but the other four will have variations on the theme.

Big Pat gave me a couple of jars of static grass so I thought I'd try it. It's looking a little like a golf course, especially compared with my traditional mix of colours and coarsness of flock with added chopped lichen and bits of clump foliage picked off the table
I added some tufts for the pictures above, but I think I'll add some patches of traditional flocking too.

As you can see I'm basing these for Midgard to match the Goths. Saves mucking about with magnets and such.
I might regret this down the road.
