When I painted up my Mid Republican Romans in January, I went small. I was eager to move on and paint my Pontics so I quit the Romans early. As my Pontic army grew, I realized I needed to circle back and buff up my Romans so that they could be the equal of the Pontics on the field of battle. Smack in the middle of my other projects, I stopped to order up and paint Triarii, more Hastati, Pricipes and Velites so I could field 3 large legions in Impetus. The upside is, they do look sharp all massed up! Corinth, bar the gates. The boys are back in town!
Firemonkeyboy posted photos of his excellent command stands for his Impetus army. The rules don't require them but I liked the look enough that I did the same. Like the Romans used to say, in for a Solidus, in for a Denarius!
Roman camp, 3 legions and now command stands...I declare the Roman project finito. And we'll exit to the exquisite harmonies of Cindy Wilson and Kate Pierson singing "Roam." Seriously, there isn't a lot of Roman themed pop music that I could think of so this will have to do.
Very nice minias and pictures !!!

Some great armies!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is the first one, for the colours...
Hi really good paint work, but a mid republican will never be finished, missing some change bases for playing in other rules, allies, more options etc..... .;-)

Thanks all for the feedback and I'm glad I found a "hit" with the B-52s. I'm reading Ghosts of Cannae for my summer vacation book and I never grow bored of the Romans. So it's probably true that this is a project which never quite ends!
ReplyDeleteVery nice.....colours are great. Can never have enough legions as a Roman.
ReplyDeleteLooking good!
