From BenitoV: Late Roman Levy Unit (60 points)

In the nick of time, I could finish on Monday evening my next unit for Saga: a bunch of conscripted levies for a Late Roman Warband (in progress).

 

I wanted to paint a unit  dressed with some uniformity but not too much. Facing different options, I finally discarded  the Gripping Beast's "official" Late Roman Infantry box and instead I used bodies and javelin arms from the Dark Age Warriors box, and spare heads with helmets from other boxes (Goth Cavalry, Saxon Thengs, etc)

 

Some of the unit members wear a the Late Roman army tunic (greyish white with red ornaments) but others had to use their own clothes (either because of running out of Roman tunic stocks or being only lately "recruited").

 

The shields are Little Big Men transfers. I opted to give the unit a common theme as a way to increase the appearance of semi-regular troops.        

This unit is another example of the flexibility and optionality offered by the Gripping Beast Dark Age plastic boxes.

This unit has 12 minis in 28mm, representing 60 points to be added to my Challenge score.  

I also score 1 point for the Squirrel Duel

Excellent work as always, Benito! Good idea to mix and match bits from different box sets to get a non-uniform look.
