Republican Romans.

After a longer than expected hiatus from what was supposed to be this years main project I have taken up again where I left off & finally finished a fourth maniple of hastati/princeps.




In addition I have managed to complete another ten velites, which is somewhat of a record given my usual slow painting speed.



One thing about painting all these light troops, you do realise what a large proportion of each legion they represented. Just the thing for tenderising a nice juicy phalanx before the heavies piled in.

  1. Great looking Rep. Romans, HGA. They have me waxing nostalgic when I used to play my Successors against my buddy's Rep. Roman army.

    1. Cheers Dean, looking forward to getting these to the table vs. Successors, but some way to go yet.

    1. Thanks Simon, I am hoping they are going to do a Roman/ Allied cavalry set one of these days but not holding my breath!
