From BenitoM: Roman Times Food Delivery Service - The Larder (35 points)

My entry in The Larder Room, the first documented food delivery service dated back to the Roman era.

This is a supply train that I painted initially to be part of Infamy! Infamy! support assets, but it can be used in any game ranging between the Ancient times to the Spanish Civil War. The supply train in Infamy is useful specially for the Romans a means of replenishing some throwing weapons like the pilum (the rules limit to two throws per game unless resupplying); or else it can be used as an objective in a game scenario (for example, Barbarians aiming to disrupt the roman supply lines by capturing the convoy).

 

Painting animals is tricky but I found very useful photos googling "mules and donkeys" on Internet. It seems that these animals have very light (many times white) areas in the inner side of legs and the belly, as well around the eyes.

These models belong to the Wargames Foundry Pack Animals series. The scale is closer to 25mm than 28mm as usual with this manufacturer, and the animals come with an assortment of heavy laden packs as you can see in the photos.

The theme I believe perfectly fits in the The Larden room ("vignette themed around food, drink..."). Therefore, with this entry I can add 35 points to my Challenge scoring: 3 x 25mm models @5 points each + 20 points bonus
