I was able to get started on the Late Roman heavy cavalry as well. For the project we are going with smaller cavalry units 8 figures instead of the normal 12. I am not sure if I like the look as well but they do paint faster.
The first units shield is from the front cover of Warhammer Ancient Battles (hows that for some historical research). I really do like the design
For the second unit of cavalry I went with the traditional Chi Rho design.
Finally here is a full class picture of the infantry completed so far.
I was able to complete 24-28mm foot and 16-28mm Cavalry for a total of 280 points
Thanks for looking!
These are lovely and I will steal the shield design for mine, especially the raven on the infantry and they deserve a lovely bonus of 10pts. Please add labels to your posts in hte future.

Lovely work Eric :)
ReplyDeleteThose old Foundry sculpts still come up a treat - great work, Eric!
ReplyDeleteReally like the Foundry figures - am posting some of mine painted up shortly also with Chi Rho design on shields .... seems like Later Romans in 28mm are the most popular unit at the moment?
ReplyDeleteLovely work, great shields. Well done Eric.
ReplyDeleteThat's quite the week of painting! I agree re Foundry, they look excellent. Well done Eric, this late Roman stuff has been fantastic.
ReplyDeleteFab work Eric, love the WAB Cavalry!
