Last Late Roman shieldwall unit, like the other units second hand black tree design figures, nice to paint, although being second hand I now realise upon painting them that there are a couple of later dark age types with longer hair, no belt and a slightly different dress, but with the same shield, spangleheim helmet, mail and spear I think theyll do, no doubt Goths press ganged . Speaking of the hand painted shield, I only realised it was a cavalry design after Id painted it,whoops!
Like the other infantry units,all individualy mounted on 1p pieces and sabot based in a warbases 120mm mdf base, still got to finish an archer unit then this little army is complete.
10 x 5 gives me 50 points
Last post, I'd like to thank Greg , Curt and all the team, its been great fun as always and I forgot to mention the charity I contributed to in December is for Refugees which are no doubt even busier in the eastern Mediterranean now.
All the best

From Millsy:
Good to see another Late Roman post in this Challenge. Seeing your work and that of others like JohnS has kept the fire alive for my own efforts, so thanks for that.
You've done a smashing job on these, particularly the lorica sclamata which I have a hankering to add some of myself. I'm tempted by the BTD stuff and might dip my toe in there. If they come out as well as yours have it'll be worth the effort.
50 more points racked up. Great choice of charity too BTW. Nice one mate.
Cheers,
Millsy
