From IainW: 28mm EIR Auxilia for Hawkins Hill (90 points )

Here we have a unit of auxiliary infantry from Newline,  like my previous post they came from an I'll considered bid on Ebay, coupled with a desire to get a bargain! I largely avoid Ebay now but with my need to mobilise a Roman army these lead reservists have been called up.

I didn't think I'd had them that long but I now realise I've moved house twice since I got them plus my daughter was in primary school and I am now taking her to look at universities as she is doing her A levels,so I think they qualify for this location!

Newline  figures seem a little simple and plain in their unpainted state but I think come up quite nicely with the application of paint,certainly enough detail and frankly not too much!

They was something of a throwback to the past as these chaps were bought primed in white and I've had to adapt,  I know with contrast paints white primer is making a comeback but it's still a little weird to me!

Plain shields on these, maybe the next unit will get a bit of decoration.

12 x 28mm infantry is 60 points plus 30 for the location gives me a  further 90 points, I certainly hope to add more than 66 points next week to do my bit in heading to our collective target .

This also means I have completed five locations which is the end of my challenge island tour although I hope to have a further post this week!

All the best
Iain


Another great unit to add to your growing collection of Romans. 90 points it is!
