Legio XI
Well last week I nearly hit my goal points for the challenge, but I failed to complete the shield decals and complete the hand painted vexillum and shields on the Centurions. This weeks entries will I blow it out of the 1000 point goal out of the water. The Roman legion I have been working on since the beginning of the challenge commenced is more than half way ….I still need to complete another four Cohorts to complete the legion but need more command figures to do this and some may also get posted later today, so when the commands arrive I will return in a few weeks to complete the legion.
May I present to you the XI legion
XI legion Commander, legate, guard and prisoner |
Mounted Auxiliary Commander, equestrian order |
I Cohort and Eagle
II Cohort
III Cohort
Points
Command 20 points
Mounted 10 points
Cohorts 45 x 5 = 225
Cohort 4 14 x 5 = 70
Hand painted shields and Velixiums. 3 + 3 = 3 points?
Total points 328 points
Cheers
Matt
That's a lot of lovely work there, Matt! I'm not sure what they taught you at school, but at mine we were taught that 3 + 3 = 6! So, that's 331 points for you!

Beautiful minis!
ReplyDeleteCheers, I has been a bloody slog, I do not recommend attacking 80 odd legionaries at once… and to think I still have more to do then the rest of the Auxiliaries
DeleteGreat work Matt -- love that command stand especially and these WF figures are nice and chunky and come out very well
ReplyDeleteCheers, all foundry metals mate. The WF are in my upcoming Republican Legio in March at this stage
DeleteWonderful work on the EIR types, love the Dacian fighting armour on the guy in the command stand and the shields rock.
ReplyDeleteYes I have mixed in the Dacian armoured types as the 11th were fighting the Dacians a lot.
DeleteWell done Matt. Always love to see Romans!
ReplyDeleteYes I love them, I have 5 roman armies….this will be six
DeleteThese look great. I love the little face on the staff in IV cohort.
ReplyDeleteYes, I like them too, I originally had it brass, then cruising the web I seen a reenactment group with a imagio and it was painted so here it is.
DeleteNice work Matt!
ReplyDeleteCheers Ray
DeleteGreat work Matt, very productive
ReplyDeleteIt has been a bit of a slog to stay focused
DeleteLots of Romans in one post, Matt! Very nicely painted.
ReplyDeleteCheers Teemu, I have another three cohorts almost done, need some more command to complete the legion though. I need to pick up some foundry at Hammerhead in March.
DeleteWonderful work Matt, and I'm delighted that you've achieved your initial target for the Challenge. Onwards and upwards!
ReplyDeleteYes, first time I have surpassed my goal, but after last years disaster I thought a smaller goal would take the pressure off.
DeleteCheers

ReplyDeleteCheers Millsy, I have four hundred of his mates on my blog with a further two hundred to paint over this coming year
DeleteBusy lad alright
ReplyDeleteYes, ad you know
DeleteYou can't go wrong with some Romans, soe ially when as well painted as these!
ReplyDeleteCheers Sander, I did elect to do eyes, and finger nails on personalities… I think I am becoming crazy in my old age
DeleteVery nice Romans!
ReplyDeleteCheers Barks
DeleteNice brushwork on the Roman's, Matt! I like the command vignette.
ReplyDeleteThank you David, I have two more, the emperor, a impetus camp, plus some Roman camp dioramas to do
DeleteExcellent work. The captives clothing really pops against the kit of the Romans. All super nice.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bruce
DeleteWow! That's a lot of good looking Roman. The mini-diorama of the captive Celt is top notch. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteCheers Frederick, I do like to do little things like this for commands. You will love my Republican one coming up in a month or so.
DeleteFabulous stuff Matt! I really need to find an excuse to come visit and play with your wonderful figs! :-)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a sound plan to me!
DeleteCheers
MattW
These are looking smashing, well worth the effort!
