Christopher Sliter: Roman Auxiliary Archers (80pts.)

 My next addition for my growing 3rd Century Roman army for Infamy! Infamy' from TFL are a couple of Roman Auxiliary Archers. These guys will come in handy to thin out the Barbarians before they hit the Legionaries lines. 



The figures are from A&A miniatures and were quite enjoyable to paint although there was a little bit of extra clean up in a few places but nothing very troubling. The paints I used were mostly Foundry and Vallejo with some P3 as well.



The project is slowly coming along but is beginning to take shape which always helps with the motivation to push on through to completion or should I say a point of playability. I'm trying to resist moving on to other projects before I reach my goal on this one but it's not easy!



I'm looking forward to things opening up again for in person gaming as it sometimes feels like your painting things just to put them on shelf which can put a damper on the enthusiasm a bit. While I of course enjoy watching the collection grow on the shelf  it really makes you wish you could use it. Anyhow it will be fun to put them on the table.



More Romans on the way.... probably.

That's 16 x 28mm miniatures for 80pts.

Thanks for viewing!

  2. Wonderful Sagittarii Christopher, I’ll second Simons comment on the basing. 8 also like the Eastern helmets and your use of bronze. Does one lad in the front rank have an axe in his left hand?

  3. That is top-shelf quality brushwork, wow - very well done. Are those sabot bases? If so, I cannot tell...which would be doubly impressive as usually the sabot aspect is fairly obvious.

    Anyway, that is some solid work. Great stuff.
