From EricM - The First of the Last (220 points)

Happy Friday!    My installment this week is the last cohort of the bullheaded legion and the first cohort of the last legion.  As we move into the last leg of the challenge my goal is to finish this last legion and some Numidian Auxiliaries

I saved the first cohort of the Bullheaded legion for last.  Its 24 figures strong compared to the others that are 16 (soon to be 18).

 






The last legion I plan for paint for a while has changed a bit.  I had planned to go with black shield and dark yellow lightening bolts.  The test shields came out ok and I was ready to go, but then I came across the stars and bronze idea on the internet.  New and shiny always wins!




I was able to paint 42 figures this week. As usual all are Wargames Foundry.

Nothing says "Ancient" like a cohort of Roman legionnaires. The colors are spot on and there is a great unity radiating from your groups. These 42 figures will rake in 210 points and I will add 10 points for the shields. Veni vedi vici. (Sylvain)
