Title: Imperial Roman Army Complete (11/12)
Post by: Eric the Shed on September 11, 2019, 06:44:37 PM: Hi Folks

As you are probably aware the Shed went big battles with 28mm a few years back and it is my ambition to churn out an iconic period each year. Last year it was Hastings & the Dark Ages, the year before the Sudan etc...

Real life has conspired to stop me frequienting here as much as I would like and updating my blog but over the five months I have been slogging away to build and paint my 'plastic' Ancient British army - complete with Boudicca & Druids. They can now take the field

The Romans are next and I have three months to finish the project !!

more info on blog
http://shedwars.blogspot.com/2019/09/ancient-british-army-complete.html (http://shedwars.blogspot.com/2019/09/ancient-british-army-complete.html)

There's about 750 figures here - foot, chariots, cavalry and skirmishers

Thank you - I'd argue it was bigger than a skirmish game :)
