From BenitoM: EIR Auxilia Sagittarius (Western) Unit (30 points)

Hope everybody had a good Christmas Eve Eight and Christmas Day. As Spain imposed limitations to celebrate family gatherings, I took advantage of a very quiet Christmas morning to progress with my painting work. My third entry in the Challenge this year is a unit of Early Imperial Roman Auxilia archers, to reinforce my Infamy! Infamy! Roman armies. 

In the game, archers (as well as slingers and some allied tribal unist) act in skirmish order, cannot from in close order or fight in close combat. These skirmish class units are usually made of 6 models and have an embedded command or "Supra Numerum" to activate.

 

The models are 28mm metal figures from Wargames Foundry, but unlike some of my Gaul/Briton models from the late 80s, these were recently acquired (actually, I planned to be part of the 10th edition of the Challenge, but I was not able to have them in time).

 

This entry scores 30 points (6 x 28mm models @5 points each), taking my Challenge balance to 95 points. The models also score 30 points in the Roman and His Enemies duel.  

 

I'm planning now my  next step in the Challenge Island Dungeons. I have only covered one room so far, but I had an idea to move into The Pit of the Pendulum room. Stay tunned.
