First up is another unit of Hastai in simple grey tunics with hand pained shields
Every legion needs commanders. This one has 3.
First up a grizzled old commander with his loyal slave, a comfy campaign chair and some nice soft boots for his aching feet.
Next up a professional looking guy with a lictor to confirm his authority
Finally a fresh paced political appointment, again with a lictor. There is a raven in the tree.
That is 21 foot and 1 mounted figure plus 16 hand painted shields - 131 points I think
More Roman shinyness from Martin as he powers his way along at the top of the table. Really like the simplicity of the white shields, and the grey clothing - it really works.
Those Command Stands are awsome and I love those shields.
ReplyDeleteCheers, it's more fun when the figs are a joy to paint
DeleteBrilliant stuff, but what really blew me away are the command stands they are lovely little vignettes.
ReplyDeleteCheers mate
DeleteGreat stuff Martin. I really enjoyed the raven looking in on the political appointment...
ReplyDeleteYes, beautiful work Martin! I agree with Greg the raven is a brilliant touch but does not augur well for the commander. See what I did there? Ah, I'll grab my hat now...
Delete"Never more". Cheers guys
DeleteAnother great submission form you

DeleteAwesome, they look so good. Love the command stands and those extra touches like the Raven make these stand out.
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteMost excellent stuff dude :)
ReplyDeleteDude, so cool;) ta
DeleteVery nice work. There is a carion Crow that visits my garden. He's getting braver but he is a long way from being as close as that Raven. Splendid rank and file troops
ReplyDeleteDo love a good menacing bird. Cheers
Deletegreat paintwork and basing!
ReplyDeleteMerci
DeleteAnother nice entry from you Marin! You got your mojo going here. That vignette is particularly nice. I like the stark feeling of the scene-excellent use of negative space!
ReplyDeleteCheers, command is lonely
DeleteCracking stuff! Great shields, and I love the commander vignettes.

DeleteAwesome. Great bunch of Roman troopers. Very cool. Excellent command basing. cheers
ReplyDeletethanks
DeleteNice work here as always mate.. these look the business for taking on the gauls now ;)
ReplyDeleteTa, I think it will the Carthaginians or even the Picts, really hating painting the Gauls
DeleteCracking work on those Martin!
ReplyDeleteCheers mate
DeleteVery sharp looking Romans, Martin! I like the commanders, my favorite being the old man- in a job where men die young.
ReplyDeleteNever underestimate the power of a nice chair or comfortable boots! ;)
ta, really into a nice chair and comfy boots
