The link to the rant is that that is what happened to the late Roman empire, a plague decimated 4th century Roman empire and it never recovered.
All that was left was these poor sods to protect the Empire
These are 28mm unarmoured Roman infantry, mainly by Ebor but with 4 randoms from the lead pile by Northstar
They are a nice unit and will buy another command set to make 2 units of 16 for KoW or TtS
Scores on the doors
28-28mm infantry = 140 plus lovely Tamsin's extra for handpainted shields and Draco
I did warn you that he was going to plague us! Very nice Roman infantry Martin. Now, as for the bonus points, that is a very basic design on the shields, so I think I'll score them 1/2 point each, plus 1 point for the Draco.

Nice looking Legionaries Martin. Don’t worry about the virus, the Emperor Trump has declared the WHO death rate a fake number and decreed a much lower rate based on a hunch.
ReplyDeletecheers. It will be fine I've got loads of beans
DeleteNicely done Martin.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I prefer the UK approach or the current US approach which seems to be that Mike Pence can pray it away.
Ta. Prayer always works!
DeleteVery nice work.
ReplyDeletecheers
DeleteLovely looking Late Romans! Don't get me started on the pandemic, as my daughter said to her 83 year old grandfather " It's only going to kill the old people, what is everyone worried about?" With me trying to mime shut up!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
genius, love kids
DeleteVery nice job, gotta feel for these poor sods trying to keep the empire together. And it seems that the best defence against the pandemic is to buy in six months worth of toilet roll.....
ReplyDeleteTa. Better off with a sponge on a stick
DeleteExcellent brushwork Martin.
ReplyDeleteCheers
Delete...and the Romans had their own Brexit of sorts with the Eastern Empire breaking away. As they say, history doesn't necessarily repeat itself, but it can often rhyme. ;) Great looking Late Romans Martin. Those Ebor models are lovely.
ReplyDeleteOne of the things about knowing history is watch others repeat it. Cheers, I do like ebor, they are mainly WSS though
DeleteGreat work Martin.
ReplyDeletecheers
DeleteNice rant , and tiny soldiers
ReplyDeleteta, I was in the mood
DeleteThat's one brilliant looking force of Late Romans, the shields particularly look impressive all ranked up like this!
ReplyDeleteVery nice work. What will we do if we’re isolated at home for two weeks?!
