I'd switched back to the 18th century for
the Larder, but the Hatchery requires going back in time quite a bit more. This one required a bit of thought again, until Christy suggested the obvious answer. To the editor of
Ancient Warfare (apologies for the shameless plug), one bird is supreme, of course: the eagle. In other words, an
aquilifer had to be the subject of this blog. Unfortunately, those are all in silver or gold (yes, we had
an article about a possible live eagle carried by II Parthica in the early 3rd century AD, but I don't have an appropriate figure), but I hope that's forgivable. And besides, these Foundry Caesarian Romans are just a joy to paint.
Three figures plus the Hatchery bonus should get me 35 points closer to my goal.
Very nice looking Romans there Jasper!
