Introducing Centurio Marco Benitius a.k.a. "Interfectorem", Primus Pilus and champion leader of the XI legion bringing the civilization to the Barbaric peoples living beyond the Rhine river limes.
This is 28mm plastic model belonging to the Roman Generals range produced by Victrix. I must say the model size is a "(quite) large 28" probably closer to 30mm. They don't mix well with other Roman ranges (particularly with the Wargames Foundry models); however I have made a full Auxilia unit with Victrix models to be put together as a unit in a table; you hardly notice difference when playing a game against another army made with a different manufacturer.
The model is also my entry fee (or Curtgeld) to participate in the Challenge and will be awarded to the champion designated by our Snow Lord in due time.
If my maths are right, this entry is worth 30 points: 10 points for a cavalry model + 20 points for the Curtgeld bonus. I also score another 10 points in the Roman and his enemies duel.
Time now to return to the kitchen for the Xmas Eve dinner. Difficult to wish a very Merry Xmas considering the situation around in all our countries, but at least the best possible Christmas to all.
Fab work
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful model, Benito! I really like the brushwork you did on his cuirass. He'll make some Challenger very happy.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and yours!
Very well done Benito!
ReplyDeleteDoes he hail from Hispania Ulterior perhaps? 😉
ReplyDeleteLovely bit of work there. Benito. A very classy classical figure!
Really nicely done, Benito. I think Victrix do great ancients but, as you say, they don't fit well with some of the other ranges.
ReplyDeleteA fine looking figure Benito.
ReplyDeleteSplendid looking figure! Lovely finish and basing!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Looks like a fantastic model; really nice paintwork on him too. Whoever ends up with him is lucky!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking figure. The blue harness is very striking and provides a nice contrast to the mounted commander and the horse itself. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteI would not know if the average centurio would even venture near a horse, but yours is definitely not average. Fantastic figure and paintjob!
ReplyDeletegreat to see you back here mate! Great job on the entryfee.
ReplyDeleteWell done Benito! Those Victrix sculpts seem like monsters, but they are nice!
ReplyDeleteVery nice, Benito!
ReplyDeleteNice painting Benito, and Happy Christmas
ReplyDeleteTop job, great work on a great figure
