From JP : Marian Romans and some early Saxon warriors. (70 points)

Before Aventine shut down for a sad but well deserved retirement, I bought a batch of their Marians and Late Republicans (those suitable for Marians). These are marvellous sculpts. They are based on the practical reality that troops weren't all equipped uniformly but raher regionally, through to the 1st civil war. The unit I painted up is recruited in Cisalpine Gaul and has a number of Gallic features.

Next up are half a dozen early Saxon Warriors for Pillage. Victrix does lovely work and though I don't need more than 50 figures, it is sorely tempting!

The tally is 14 28mm figures for 70 points.

Now I'm eyeing some of my Border Reivers...

Cheers!

Don't stop spoiling us with your excellent Ancient paint schemes JP, go on indulge yourself in more Saxons! No seriously; these Marians and Saxons are very very well painted yet again, I do not know how you keep the levell of painting so consistently high throughout the project. Avantine did make some really beautiful and useful troops and this rough and ready look really does it's job! The Saxons are really well done as well.  Can't wait to see what you will do with those Reivers you've mentioned!
