well, following the excellent topic of Rumacara : http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=63550.0 (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=63550.0), there it is some of my civilians :
Gentlemen and elders

and some of lesser people (sheppards, slaves....)

Oh boy, what a selection of beauties!! And I don't recognise so many of them, which is good, another reason to buy more stuff :)
Can you please tell me where these on the pic below come from? And who makes the ships and the guards?
btw, I've created a thread for you, feel free to let me know if you wish to change the topic name.
-
at your service Prof :
the 1st on the left : Warlod from their roman civilians. Small size so i'll give him the role of the jewish merchant.....
the 2 next ones are BTD Spartan or greek elders (don't remember which reference on the 2 they produce).
and the pointing one, in armour is a BTD too (Spartan elder i think).
The last 3 are (from left to right) :
Warlord roman civilians (small but seated so no problem). Looks like a veteran legionary.
Uncommon, it' a Redoubt Priest ! I found him in a the earlt italian range, in the Etruscan no picture ref RR14 sacrificial set. Smaller than the classical Redoubt scale.
One more elder from BTD.
Eric

Top service, thank you much! I clearly need these greek civilians. Also I will have a look at the Redoubt range.
What about sheeps and guards?
-
Top service, thank you much! I clearly need these greek civilians. Also I will have a look at the Redoubt range.
What about sheeps and guards?
Sheep are Irregular. Not super scultping but cheap ! lol
Sheepard are 2 foundry (adults).
The boy is an Irish Crusader Miniatures from the lone civilian pack of the range ! :'(
The romanised guards are my urban cohorte or ludus guardians. They are BTD sword cloaked auxialiary. With some conversion for the cloak on some references.
-
I have been reading a lot of John Maddox Roberts' "SPQR" mysteries lately, and the combination of that and these threads has me itching to do some Roman street brawls myself. It is one of those periods where you probably need to spend more time on scenery than figures though.
I really love the selections of figures you have here. Thanks for sharing the sources.
-
that's the goal of this topic and the one of Rumacara lol :
Bring you to the dark side of the force ...............of the figurines... ;)
You have to be aware and feel as converter when you look at a range of figurines. Even if the range is not of the same period you are looking for.
And ask yourself : What can i do with this figurine ? I turn German (half naked) into Hillbillies (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=15751) for a western period in this way.
Keep you imagination high and you 'll find a lot of solutions for your work conversion on minis.
-
Indeed, and becoming more creative and converting figures is something I have wanted to work on lately. Thanks for the inspiration!
-
Hello all
Eric, your miniatures look great. Some ideas for me.
I finished cnverting 2 figures from Agema but i havent taken a picture yet.
As soon as possible i will post them.
Cheers
Rumacara

As rumacara, i'm involved into hooded gangers conversion work. to give this (from Spartacus serie) :
(http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2856/12673175253_60fbf28580_o.jpg)
For this purpose, i use cloaked and hooded pictish figurines. Some nice are available in the BTD range. I like to use for conversion slinger because you have nearly nothing to cut offf from the figurines and the poses are very usefull for the work !
(http://www.blacktreedesign.com/uk/images/P/ia1075.jpg)
Otherwise, the use of the Westwind pict heads set is required and highly recommended !
(http://www.westwindproductions.co.uk/catalog/images/shspah2.jpg)
-
Hello all
Eric, those heads from west wind are magic.
Both for my civilians and armed legionaires.
Cheers
Rumacara
-
i used too the saxon and the romano-british ones !
I mix them with my BTD's viking to get original Saxon/viking, late Germanic warriors......
they are excellent and highly sculpted !
-
yup they are
I also use them on my legionaires and some convertions.
If you go for plastic there are those of the warlord ww2 brittish infantry that are usefull for romans.
Cheers
Rumacara
-
ww2 british ?
interesting , which ones ? the commando ? lol
-
Hello Eric
Not the commando ones. The infantry plastic box.
Ech box brings more heads than what is necessary so i used the spare ones
Here are some examples:
-
they are produce without helmet then ?
-
Hello Eric
Yes. The helmets come appart.
Cheers
Rumacara
-
First a couple dozen ludii show up...now several threads about Roman street gangs....methinks the empire/republic is in a bit of a spot! lol
-
(http://www.westwindproductions.co.uk/catalog/images/shspah2.jpg)
Wow, these heads are top notch, have to get them, too!
-
Hello Professor
Also check the other heads from the range.
The welsh ones are also good.
Cheers
Rumacara
-
Great work Eric!
i like that
-
Excellent conversions and ideas all round and very inspired by this :)
Was very tempted to have a go at creating a Roman street gang for Roman Britain a few years back when Foundry brought out the range of Imperial Roman civilians but never got round to it as life got in the way of my painting and collecting at the time and have just checked the Foundry site and it seems the range is now back in production and can be bought as a collection. May now order some of the armed civilian types and give the project a go :)
Those Legionary guards look just the part to try and enforce law and order in a run a down town or a rough bothered ramshackle settlement and most provinces saw civil disorder and internal strife at some stage and this was often put down very brutally by the army.
-
and now some target for our gangers :
see that topic about roman transportation : http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=37870.0 (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=37870.0)
plentyfull of good ideas, once again ! ;)
the LAF is done for that lol
-
Hello all
Eric those are great ideas.
A small patrolling river boat is already on its way with a roman patrol on it (as soon as i have it completed i will take some photos) and one roman wagon is on the pipeline to be scratchbuild as well as 2 more wagons from Front rank medieval range.
Lots of goodies to make on the next month or maybe two.
Cheers
Rumacara
-
A small patrolling river boat is already on its way
Now that sounds interesting! Are you going to build one?
-
Hello all
Yes Professor its already converted but not painted (the boat).
The roman coach its a future project.
As mentioned as soon as i have pictures i will post it.
Cheers
Rumacara
-
Some of my gangers, ready for action but waiting more paint ;D
(http://imageshack.us/a/img208/8199/b6nc.jpg)
From left to right :
An ex Artizan light spartan infantry, a Saxon casualty from BTD, a Foundry civilian with a Westwind head and finally a Crusader Irish Kern re equiped with a sword.
For weapon like sword and shield, i use Magister Militum ones because their are the cheapest on the market. 10 for £1.40.
-
Another bunch of ideas :-* My favorit is the Saxon casualty guy, splendid character.
I've already received my BTD order containing some greek olders and legionaries wearing cloaks (top service from BTD!) :) These are so much better than the pics on their web site, very well sculpted. Really happy with the lot, thanks again for the inspiration!
btw, here are some further ideas for you:
(http://www.legionsix.org/HBO%20Rome%20Blog/images_HBO%20Rome/rumbleready.jpg)
-
yes !
i like that scene from Rome, the tv serie ;D
great savage and bloody fight !
I need a gang of ex legionary with mixed military and civilians clothes.... lol
-
Some new guys to rules the streets....
An ex spartan officer
(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7374/12925983785_cc43e9f818.jpg)
turn now into a sentry for a gang, a gang leader or a spy for the police force (always with a Westwind head) :
(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7402/12925984285_e7d1f5c7b9_o.jpg)
and a future slave (WIP) :
(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7449/12926400584_323d09d74f_z.jpg)
the slave + the homemade chain
(http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2876/12925984045_7de2e58959_z.jpg)
the slave ready for action (to be sold at the market slaves or to run away)
-
Very nice, especially like the chain with the handcuffs of the slave. A further idea to steal :)
-
too...many...minis... o_o
I must resist. Must!
Civilians are always so tempting - and a real must to set the mood!
-
Very nice, especially like the chain with the handcuffs of the slave. A further idea to steal :)
it's a simple cheap necklace with two small wire for the handcuffs and the job is done.
I use superglue to make the chain rigid. So you can have some interesting poses with a flying chain in the air if needed !
like this chap (hell's angel conversion from......) :
(http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3696/12927958714_491c4e72f6_z.jpg)
do you recognize this figurine ?
-
an Ancient German Suebi warrior from Foundry :D Thumbs up, very clever!
-
Exact ! :o
a thin metal leaf for the sleeveless jacket and some boots scupted !
-
a thin metal leaf for the sleeveless jacket
Interesting idea to use a metal leaf for the dressing. What sort of metal leaf is it?
-
hello prof,
it's a very soft material (kind of lead) founded in a hobby decorative shop. could be use for floral art etc.....
It's come in roll and can be press, cut, painted, bent, etc.....
I'm not a great fan of milliput ( mix, sculpt, finger track on the material etc....) so i used it instead of.
I make cloak or change the movement of the cloak for example. See my urban cohorte for example.
i make sombrero/hat here :
http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=15751. (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=15751.)
(http://imageshack.com/a/img99/7374/germainhbface.jpg)
-
Not a bad idea, indeed. But is that leaf not too flexible for the later use of the figures? I think, you can easily bend it again touching the miniature while gaming.
-
you are right so i glue it with a mix of superglue and neoprene glue (like pattex) and i cover all the surface with a glue-varnish. When it' dry, the objet is hard and it's no more flexible.
For a flying cloak in the wind , you shall be more cautious. I use paper clip cut and it wrap into the cloak, drill and glue into the figurine.
-
Hello all
Wow.
A few days out and some lovely updates.
Eric those minis are great. More inspirational stuff.
Cheers
Rumacara
-
thanks :D
i'll add soon some pics of my newly converted gangers (now at the paint desk) !
Some syrian/zealot style for middle east factions and some more classical....
-
Hello all
Eric, i´m anctious to see those.
I´m also finishing a few more figures to my gang and as soon as they are ready i will post them.
Cheers
Rumacara
-
they are based upon some BTD Persian range.
They did look very persian so they gave me the idea to be converted into something lightly different.
-
here they are :D :
the syrian bad boys :

Cheers
Rumacara
thank you my friend.
Your mix of metal and plastic seem very interesting.....excellent job.
I like plastic because it's give a very good animation on the convertion and you can create some conversion more dynamic than with metal (or with less difficulties). Just like SPartacus TV serie where you a jumping/bouncing gladiators in melee !!!
like Spartacus :
(http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120621170521/spartacus/images/a/aa/Spartacus-blood-sand-kill-them-all.jpg)
or Crixus :

Hello all
Eric, thanks for the compliment.
I really enjoy transforming/converting miniatures. Its the part of the hobby that interests me more.
I also started to sculp a few things that one day might reach other peoples homes but i still have a long go for it.
I still have lots of figures to paint and convert to this theme so you can still count with lots of news and some coming this week.
Cheers

hey Rui,
it's the matter with the LAF, you get Webfriendship but it's difficult to meet or play with someone.
That' give me motivation to follow my projects. I can't go regularly to my weekly club meetingat only 50kms from home so the LAF fill the gap ! ;)
thanks to you
-
Hello all
Yup. same here although its not 50km but only 20km.
At least we can share our lead madness some photos and usefull information. This is what LAF brings the best to wargamers.
Cheers

Eric
-
Hello all
Eric, nice ideas.
Those germans are on the pipeline as well as numidians from crusader.
I´m waiting for a wargames foundry order to complement some more gladiators and unarmed civilians and then i will make some more conversions for rioting mob with stones, sticks and daggers.
But that will take a few more days maybe weeks.
New job with less free time.
Cheers
Rumacara

(http://www.blacktreedesign.com/europe/images/P/ia1015.jpg)

Their packs of Greek elders are very useful for skirmish gaming; bags of character.
-
exact, i have some. Very useful
They add more pictures of their references.....
like theses i didn't know before today
(http://www.blacktreedesign.com/europe/images/P/ia1066.jpg)

Hello all
And also the picts have some hooded figures also very usefull for gangers. ;)

Cheers
Rui
Exactly Rui, but with your skill with milliput, i think you can use any figurine as base of conversion, just like you do on the foundry Dark Africa range :-*
Excellent job.
-
Hello all
Many thanks Eric.
As i´m practising i´m getting better. I wish i could do proper heads. :)
In time i might and who knows some day i might sculp an entire gang and sell it. lol
Cheers
Rui
-
hey,
if you have time, you must give us a tuto (with step by step pics) about your sculpting work like these conversion you did based on Foundry DA ;D
Could be usefull. Even for me, who don't like too much milliput use.....in fact i don't like the material and the way to use it, is very boring for me. :?
All my finished gangs for Song of Shadow and Dust (smaller than ones nead for saga version) are at the basing workbench.
Hope to furnish some pics in few days.
cheers
Eric
-
Hello all
Eric, i dont think i have the skill to present a tutorial yet.
In time its my pleasure to do that if it helps but i´m still training and perfecting the small degree i have in sculping.
If anyone wishes i can describe how i made the conversions but the tunic its not easy to explain.
Mainly its a matter of patience i gess.
Cheers
Rui
-
here we are, some of my nearly finished gangers :
The goods (civilians) :

more to come ;D
-
Hello all
And you where worried with the bases. :)
The miniatures and their bases are excelent. :-*
We want more, so keep them coming.
Cheers
Rui
-
thanks
and then as you ask, Rui, more pics of my recent basing work :
* The Law and order guys (bases not finished) :

(https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5161/14024571826_b4be89684e_z.jpg)
-
Hello all
Well done my friend. :-*
That drunkard gang may have a future yet. lol
The best fighters and the best drunkards.
What varnish do you use (gloss and matt ones)?
Cheers
Rui
-
i varnish after the basing.
At the moment these figurines are not varnished. ;)
The gloss aspect is done by the "Smoke".
It's a Tamya product looking like a shader varnish . i use it after painting .
then i use a matt varnish , that fix all the grass etc.....
the flash give a very gloss aspect that doesn't exist in real.
-
Hello all
Yes i know smoke from tamiya although i never used it on this way. Good tip.
About the matt varnish i use vallejo but sometimes even shacking a lot of time, the product stays slightly brilliant and from time to time small white spots appear after spraying the miniatures so i need to try others.
Cheers
Rui
-
when i'm run out of varnish i use a spray for PVC plastic renovation (garden chair, etc....)....
it's very matt but never failed like some special hobby varnish.
The white spot arrived because of an air reaction if it's too cold outside for example......a friend of mine put his figurines a few minutes near an open hot oven. Strange but it's work...never try it for myself.... ???
-
Amazing, Eric, lovely choice of figures and clever conversions. Inspiring!
-
Yes! A great job on these here. Well done! I like the bases too as well as the rather fine building behind them. The drunks theme is inspired.
Nice gang of goodies too. Who makes the chap in the toga?
Cheers
Mark
-

Thanks for the comments..... ;)
I included Drunkards because in the ganesha Rules it's possible to get characters with this special ability. 8)
The guy in toga with the lady is a foundry from the roman imperial range from the time they were sold by piece and not in pack (a long time ago). Not available at the moment i think . He's lightly smaller than the actual 28mm, like all the range
of IER of this time...

and a gang of shepards for action in the outskirts of rome or for a fight on the market place...

this is so shiny :-*
all the sheep by Irregular? What about cows and pigs?

Hello all
Eric, wonderfull job. :-*
Now a Villa would complement yor collection.
Well done.
Cheers
Rui
-

all the sheep by Irregular? What about cows and pigs?
Right Professor, for the Irregular sheep.....the cheapest on the 28mm/25mm :P
The pigs and the chicken are Gripping Beast,
and the cow are "collector" from Hinchliffe at the good old time of my start in wargaming with true 25mm. Only few manufacturers on the market like : Minifigs, Lammings, Hinchliffe, Naismith, Garrison .......all sold by piece. The blister was unknown ! :'(
the babies are 15mm irregular
For Rui :
i have one in construction, but need some time to paint it lol
-
a better view of the cows :

and now !
the slavers en route for the slaves market
(https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7063/14047707035_69206c185d_z.jpg)
i should say, a part of my slavers because the rest are at the basing step.... :'(
too busy to go faster 8)
-
Hello all
Eric, once more a great job. :-*
I love it. The chains make a very nice effect.
Well done.
Cheers

Thanks Rui,
It's very easy to create ! Like many things, the simplest is it, the best is it !

get some new romans from BTD :
To join in the law and order gang ! :D
Preatorian (to turn into legionnaries) in comparison scale with a foundry centurion (nearly converter with a hole in is hand for a stick/club)
(https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5312/13952080347_2e5d960ce6_c.jpg)
and (from left to right) a BTD centurion and a legat, still in scale comparison with our Foundry guy
(https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7348/14158829873_5ea1f46785_z.jpg)
i don't like the legat helmet so i think i'll swap it with an another head..... ???
Life is cheap in my workbench lol
-
I've also got this legat and dislike the helmet and the cloack being made not that nice. But apart from that BTD has a few very lovely Romans to offer. That centurion left from legat is a musst have!
-
Exactly, the legat seem to be a little bit "static".
no matter for me, some blows of cutter and a new design for his cloack will do the job for me.
BTD have generaly an excellent scupt but there are less popular than Foundry.....and very cheap with their Premium service ! lol
-
to Rui
it's done !
(https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5117/13967006868_83a9b72b0d.jpg)
The legat lost is head >:D
Now i have to choose the best one to swap with to give him a better look ???
-
Many thanks Eric. :D
Now what?
West Wind? ;)
Depending on the look you want to give him, you can choose from the bareheaded picts (a older look) or the welsh ones (younger look).
If you have the hooded picts heads you may try how it looks.
Try if you like, a shield on his left hand. Small rounded.
Cheers
Rui
-
the legat got is new head ! o_o
(https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2902/14158918911_66d02fae14.jpg)
looks more "imperator" than before with his new haircut

That's perfect for the slave Grumio from the TV series "Plebs" set in Rome
(http://www.comedy.co.uk/images/library/people/180x200/p/plebs_grumio.jpg)
Is that the ancient equivalent of Eastenders? lol
-
Well done Eric. :)
Nice choice.
You could use as a young tribune starting is military life. ;)
Crusader head?
Cheers
Rui
-
the legat got is new head ! o_o
Top notch performance, Eric, I love this version! What head did you use, one of Aventine's?
-
thanks for the comment.
don't know "Plebs" but i'll get a look when available here ;)
The head is coming from a Crusader (exact Rui) Velite. As my favorite Westwind heads doesn't fill the job, i remember that one.
This kind of haircut can be usefull for medieval period too ....for page, esquire etc...
:)
-
Here are some friends of our new legat.
(https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5555/14153660645_77bb0565e2_z.jpg)
Ex BTD Pratorians turned into simple legionnaries, the one on the left lost his helmeted head for a bare one
and some leaders (also BTD)
(https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2901/14150813702_a292642a33_z.jpg)
still with our Foundry centurion , now with his stick
-
Hello all
Well done Eric. :-*
The pretorians have a complete new look.
The leader with the cloak is very nice.
I would sculp some boots or roman sandals. You will see that it transforms the miniature compleetly.
Try the boots. They are easier to do. ;)
Cheers
Rui
-
Hey Rui
for the boots scuplting : Joker ! :D
if needed, i'll paint them on his bare feet. lol
The officer is a Spartan leader with a swap head.
The bare headed ex pratorian give him his helmeted one. nothing is lost with me. o_o
-
The officer is a Spartan leader with a swap head.
Brilliant :) He looks like an assassin! But he definitely needs some sort of shoes.
-
You can cut off his command stick and give him a knife.
For the shoes, i'll see the option.
Does Rui can give us a tutorial for sculpting sandals or high roman bosts like this :
(http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/236x/4d/e1/d8/4de1d86fd9d09a6bc96b948f657a4ec2.jpg)
-
Very nice selection of minis and lots of great ideas for conversion. Cool! 8)
I wouldn't use this elaborate sort of sandals on the 'cloaked' fellow, though. It's probably fancy dress alluding to mythology and some such, primarily seen on big statues to impress. There are much simpler (and more realistic) designs you could try first. Here's a picture*, likely way too schematic but you get the idea:
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/17/1034_12_05_14_6_39_17.jpg)
The equestrian boots are perhaps your best bet, suitable for a 'praetorian' officer and fairly easy to sculpt, I guess.
*In case anyone wants a source for that pic, it's nicked from a thread at Roman Army Talk (http://www.romanarmytalk.com/20-roman-re-enactment-a-reconstruction/149019-calceus-patricius-senatorius-equester-looking-for-input.html?limitstart=0&start=15) where more information can be found.
-
thanks for the details of boots, Doc Morris.
i'll try to make you happy (and Rumacara and Prof too) and try a scupting of sandals as soon as it's possible :D
Just add a new member of the Drunkard gang.......
aka a Crusader Numidian musicien with a 15 mm Amphora.....

Hello all
Well done Eric.
Original figures on your roman citizens. :)
Keep them coming.
Cheers
Rui
-
Just add a new member of the Drunkard gang.......
aka a Crusader Numidian musicien with a 15 mm Amphora.....
you're full of ideas aren't you :)
-
thank you Profs,
i have 35 years of figurines convertion so i have a kind of vista to see what can i do with a pose or a figurine.
it's a kind of training. 8)
-
by now, some news guys to fill the ranks of my different gangs....
(https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5510/13975611788_5b36a0c65e_c.jpg)
From Left to right :
A syrian ganger .
A slave/shepard/roman ganger with club.
A revolting or rioting slave.
2 African/Syrian gangers or anything else....
:D
-
Gorgeous!
But you know, now you have to tell more about their origins ;)
-
thanks ALex,
so here we go
A syrian ganger ..............
Conversion of a BTD Persian Torso with the legs of a BTD ethiopian/nubians.
A slave/shepard/roman ganger with club. .....
Conversion (only for the club) of a Redoubt naked Mycenean slinger (excellent material for slave etc in light dress or none).
A revolting or rioting slave.......
Conversion of Ancient Crusader adolescent German warriors. A stone in his right hand (a piece of lead cut away from a base, with some glue on it) and a rake from Irregular (farm tool equipment)
A good reference for the job of roman/slave workers.....
2 African/Syrian gangers or anything else.........
Minor convertion of 2 BTD Ethiopians/nubians warriors.
The first one : a small axe filled is hand and his right leg is simply bent to give him a running pose.
the second one : No change and only added a homemade sword with a spear pole crushed with a bender and when flat, shaped into a sword with a cutter.
More to follow soon ;)
-
Thanks, Eric. Nver noticed, BTD Ethiopians are that nice. And the Persian torso looks good, too. Looks like I'll need yet more of BTD goodness.
-
BTD are very usefull and the lead is not to strong to cut with a cutter.... ;)
This week it's bargain on Viking, Troyan, thracian (35% off) and late roman (25%)
if you are Premium of course
;D
-
Hello all
And its me who cuts the heads, you criminal... lol
Legs, torsos, heads, i think we are getting mad... o_o
Good work Eric.
Keep them coming.
Cheers
Rui

To close the subject (for this week) :'( :
2 slaves/gangers based on Foundry Berserk
(https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2935/14162256435_2a2f29a992_z.jpg)
the tuto is on my blog (http://chti-reanimator59.blogspot.fr/2014/05/re-animator-revient-la-convertion.html) (in french but the translation button could help you to understand)
;)
-
Hello all
Eric, next update we have to agree on the miniatures we place ok?
lol lol lol
-
we are too powerfull Rui. Total Mental link between us ! :o
Separated by more than 1 200 kms, we are working on the same subject ! o_o
Except that mine is naked !
-
And mine is without a head... lol lol lol
Again...
-
not for so long i think......
A west wind one ?
i guess
-
Well, to be honest i dont know yet.
I would like to vary from west wind.
I will let the green stuff dryes and then i will try several.
Cheers
Rui
-
These are great ideas! Come to mention it I have some of those Vikings too... Hmmm I'll see what I can make them too! I like the Crusader Ancient German figure especially throwing the rock. I need to order more putty though! I cannot stand green stuff and have much more luck with procreate.
Great stuff chaps keep it coming!
Mark
-
On the same subject :A quizz for the converters you are now (i hope so) !
What can we do with that one , Guthrum the Berserker ?
(https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5278/14231511174_5814cedb2b.jpg)
???
a clue, for you 8) :
here is the start of the convertion operation, a splited pilum in 3 parts, the body of Guthrum and his typical head.
(https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2920/14231474114_846c993e5e.jpg)
The Ré-Animator 'll give you the answer, in a few hours.....
:-X
-
notes to the mad converters....:
Warlord games put 50% off from their plastic sprues :-*
A good way to start a stock of bits for future conversions for cheap ! lol
-
Yes I just put in an order; they are good value at 50p a bod, and with spare heads, too...
-
sorry for the delay,
Now the answer :
After the "Enter in the fight like Spartacus" (see here (http://chti-reanimator59.blogspot.fr/2014/04/cest-le-printemps-pour-re-animator.html) , We get a "Spartacus style to kill someone" (just like in the serie)
(https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2909/14235507584_2f7b18e46e.jpg)
and
the proof :

Eric - Re-Animator
-
Wow.
That´s what i call a brilliant idea.
What a lovelly conversion Eric. :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
This is superb.
Excelent work my friend. ;D
-
thank you my friend.
more to follow with Pictish warrior converted into legionaries in guard duty........ ???
it's possible and very use to create.
;D
-
The victim is a mantic goul with a Vitrix scabbard .
the berserk has his head turned in the other way.
The pilum is going through the goul's throat and goes out from his eye which give the 3 parts of the weapon :
One in the base of the hand of the slave, the middle part in the throat and the pointed out from the head.
Simple but efficient !
-
by now , there it is the finsihed version of the slaves ex berserkers :
(https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3893/14368230646_09af6c173c.jpg)
and our new friend ex Gothrum , nearly at the end of the painting process....
(https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2935/14204691469_5eeeeb3871.jpg)
This project is at the moment on the slow motion because i was very busy with the game day of my club last week-end.
I have played there several games from Ganesha and i 'm very happy about the result and the lot of fun to make them played by club members at the convention (One game with picts with the Arthur and merlin set of rules, one game of horror and one with pirates.).
here the picts, preparing a raid and waiting a druid blessing for the operation....
(https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2928/14393824251_ac2a546d64.jpg)
now i'm back to the roman business ;D
i found some old references of pictish warriors from Gripping Beast (no more available) that will become roman legionaries in clock for sentry duty.
pics soon
;)
-
Picts as legionaires... :o o_o
That sounds interesting.
Excelent work on the conversions and painting Eric.
Cheers
Rui
-
yes Picts as legionaries is possible ;D
the proof right here, my friends :
(https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5114/14418091165_e89a0d0730.jpg)
At the paint workshop !
Ruy, the sandals on the right one are not in green but only engrave on the bare feet of the pict. Sorry but i was in a hurry at this time.... :'( so i take the most easy way to complete my conversion.
As say herr doctor Re-animator ; " Commonly, the best conversion is generaly the simple one "
lol
-
Nice work on those Eric and lovely ideas. :-*
Perhaps a head swap on 1 or 2 and place a legionaire head with helmet. ;D
Nevertheless they are great.
There goes some picts... lol
Cheers
Rui
-
thanks Rui,
If you want some (these are no more produce) i can send 2 or 3 guys like these... ;)
cheers
-
Many thanks Eric but i have to decline your offer my friend.
I´m trying to sell an army of picts and i will keep some for mad conversions so i still have a lot of them from Foundry, Gripping Beast and Black Tree.
But i might "steal" your idea if you dont mind.
I did like the look on those and i really think its a great idea.
Cheers
Rui

hello boys,
A new addition to our gang of Rome world....The roman litter (small one) !
2 slaves (ex Redoubt slingers) and a Warlord bed converted into litter in the most simple way.
The roman lady will follow.
the 4 bearers version will follow..........a day, could be :?
Next to them, a old reference of Gripping Beast Pict, converted (only by paintjob) into roman (or jewish) ganger.

Lovelly litter Eric. :-*
You really are advancing fast on your gangs. ;)
I must keep up with my painting or i will stand behind wich is embarassing. :'(
Cheers
Rui
-
thank guys,
My next litter will be a 2 seated one (i hope) and possibly with a canopy (and curtain ?). I have to find two people lying abed and take my courage to start the creation.
but it's not for tomorrow because i have start some Late Roman troops (to use like Arthurian) for playing games with the ganesha rules set : "Song of Arthur and Merlin".
like this one (based on a GB Saxon noble) turned into Sub-Roman british victim ! ;)

Well done. Keep it coming

Not bad, Eric, not bad at all! enough for a full forum :)

thanks my friends,
One by one, added conversion after conversion, my roman/greek figurines grows every day.
I need to built more houses to find accomodation for all this people o_o

To time to lose, then. The holidays are coming......and spare time for the hobby :D
i hope so.

Regards
Eric
-
The girl from Warlord roman civilian set (on the bed of course) with scandals added by conversion (to please my friend Rui)
:D :D
Also the mounted pict with head and sword swap and a shaved head will do for a messenger or a mounted noble.
The two other picts would act as elders perhaps one as a magistrate.
Cheers
Rui

Those carpets are very nice indeed.

In the 2 major threads that are running on these Gangs of Rome, I see that the OPs are scratchbuilding their own buildings to line the streets. However, I do not have these skills nor do those I will game the scenarios with. Can anyone tell me of manufacturers in 25/28mm for suitable buildings? I am aware of Grand Manner and Najewitz Modelbau but the former are quite exxy and the latter not suited to the insula I want for the starting point of the great unwashed. Grateful for any assistance.
-
What type of buildings are you searching for?
You already have the two greatest manufacturers of roman buildings.
There are others (buildings) that may suit your wants.
-
I'm really looking for something preferably 3 stories/levels to provide accom for the plebs/generic population as distinct from the villas of the rich and powerful of comfortably well off. Also looking for market places or agora style.

Coming from CRISIS 2014 in Antwerp. Great show !
And i found this pack in the Foundry stand :
Not in their web site, so i think they have some trouble in their business plan (as the disorder in their stand....).
CVI O18 Roman Ambassador
(https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5602/15675816216_b07b60fcc9_c.jpg)
2 politicians, 1 officer, 2 soldiers and 1 one box of coins
Good sculpting.
-
AAARRRGGGHHH!!! o_o >:( :'(
I dont have those in my collection.
Great finding Eric.
Hope they put those in their shop.
-
arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !
If i have know you were interested i should take one for you o_o
sorry my friend but i was so surprise to find it in their stand.....
:o
-

3 level building could be too expensive and the homemade scratchbuilding are the best and not so difficult way to fit the job for a street fight project. The light weight of the constructions are a good point too ;)

I've now downloaded the Roman Seas Apartments/shops which come in 1/300th scale and will take one of the sheets to my local office supplies shop to have it enlarged to approx 28mm and use it as a template for a foam board building or two.
-
i see in the web, some pdf about roman paper building in great scale.
like these :

Yes, able to buy through Wargames Vault which is where I got the Apartments which consist of more floors/levels. not just villas or barracks.

Eric, many thanks for the offer.
Sooner or later i will have that pack.
Its a pitty that they have some lovely packs simply not pictured in their website.
I was abble to get some ancient spanish to complete my army with packs never seen in foundry.
Many of us sometimes get some surprises about miniatures we havent seen before and are more perfect for our collections/ideas.
-
You are right my friend
the Foundry other range are based on ebay with Casting Room Minaitures :
i think you are speaking these :

There are 5 or 6 ancient iberians packs in total from that range.
Lovelly miniatures although some where transformations from the roman civilians. ;)

yes some of these new ranges are great ;) except may be the chinese one. :'(
-
More legionnaries will be add for fighting in the streets if necessary.
As i have in mind to drop some scenarios in Alexandria during the fight between Caesar and the egyptian troops at the end of the Civil Wars.
Pictures will coming this week-end. ;)
See my blog (http://chti-reanimator59.blogspot.fr/) for some informations about my work (easy to follow with the translator button) !

-
I have been watching the Egyptian Indiegogo for just that reason. :)
-
Great !
I have some trouble to find how the egyptian troops look like ?
They are under the Ptolemaic since Alexander conquest so they must look like hellenistic infantry......but with some egyptian dress......
I doubtfull...... ???

Great Angus McBride illustration. I didn't know he had died.
-
Thank you.
I known the Ptolemaic army in the early periods but in the roman period around 50-30 Bc there is no much pictures about the look of the troops that could be involved in the fight versus Caesar.....
-
and as promise you, there it is the Legionaries in fighting poses (The foundry ones) !
(https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7470/15860076285_d79d234291_c.jpg)
They will provide the Roman troops for this Project if necessary but are complete for the alexandria Wars scenarios and for the Teutoberg Project......
Many thanks to Rumacara (aka Rui) for his help ;)
-
Great work... again :-*
-
Any time Eric. :)
The same here.

Many thanks guys.
Here it is the Black Tree Design legionaries with Foundry Shields. More details on my blog.

They could be use as bad guys or seamen in an ancient city....with little conversion work if any.
Cheers and let's have an happy new year of conversion !

Natural light :?
It's very unpredictable, isn't it? Sometimes it gives the best lighting for pictures ever, other times it doesn't help at all.
i'm actually reading the adventure of Macro and Cato ....Great inspritionnal source for me now !
I actually had never heard of them until your post. I grabbed the first book in audio and am part way through it. I think I'm going to keep a list of all the small things the characters might fight over for future scenario use. So far I just have one: A local settlement refuses to pay its taxes.
I imagine the same thing could work in a city, where "taxes" might be protection money ::)
-
Macro and Cato adventures are great for us, Rome Gangers ......... lol lol lol
As i try to add to this project, a project based upon the alexandrian revolt and riot against Caesar during the civil war and the books are very usefull for inspiration purpose.
I found most of them on Amazon Marketplace system for 1pence + postage. ..... :o
i'll try to produce more buildings in a near future to complete my "city". Carpathian (see here (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=67737.0) with is last post give some punch to keep going my project..... ;)
Cheers

yo,
I'm back to Rome ;)
with some Latrines.
(https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8663/16730288162_2894201d69_b.jpg)
the roof is not ready at the time.
The idea has been stolen in the topic of an another "Gangers", from Carpathian (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=67737.0), with his removable city.
Some details on my blog (http://chti-reanimator59.blogspot.fr/2015/03/le-re-animator-se-disperse-facon-puzzle.html) (use translation button for an idea)

Thanks Nathan.
When you'll be ready with some stuff/conversion/paintjob to show us, create your own topic about the Project and then you'll join the LAF gangers into the street war projects... lol
i'll try to be more productive with my Roman Project but......... o_o so many things to do and so little time....
sniff

-
that 's right.
so we'll wait to see you project.....
;)
-
You are welcome to steal. ;). As usual you seem to have done a better job on it. For my insulae project I went for quantity not quality....
I was going to graffiti mine... many apt examples, just waiting to be plugged into Google translate:
http://www.pompeiana.org/Resources/Ancient/Graffiti%20from%20Pompeii.htm

The essential is to complete a project and your city looks great .
i'm not working for a demo standard building, just something pratical, strong to handle and easy to use. ;)
Thank you for the graffiti link.
;D
Cheers
Eric

Nathan, do join us.
Carpathian, your city looks great and some wonderfull ideas.
Eric, stop mumbling around and go painting. >:D

I've just added an Arab type group to my gangs after picking up some Old Glory Eastern Mob figures that were based as hordes. Fortunately they came off the 5-6 figure base easily, so 15 of them were singly based on washers and a Fantasy type Arab in a litter carried on the shoulders of 2 hefty slaves has gone to be painted by a friend who is painting my 2 Roman coaches as well in exchange for some plastic log cabins that I no longer required.
Now to look to some buildings including a latrine.

Nathan, do join us.

that's done man ! ;)
but as i paint figurines with enamel, i can't do it too much in the living because madame is not very happy with the smell of terebentine combined with enamel paints....so i make some breaks and go on the LAF...

Ahh!! Ok. Then you have an excuse... :D
Poiter50, i´m liking your ideas. Looking forward to see the painted figures.

Nathan, do join us.
Working on it. Now that I'm back on my speed painting approach and not trying to make my hobby into something it's not I'm making good progress on my first miniatures for the project. I also recruited my first local participant. He's a WAB player who has lots of individually based stuff. We played a small wilderness skirmish using his miniatures and a bunch of his stuff will be appropriate for fighting in and around a city on the edge of Roman held Syria.
i'm not working for a demo standard building, just something pratical, strong to handle and easy to use. ;)
Thank you for the graffiti link.
I thinking going for practical when it comes to terrain is the way to go. Roman streets are very interesting and I'm trying to figure out how to make my buildings sufficiently modular that I can turn them around different ways and still have a good gaming space.
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e7/Dura_Europos_L7_City_Block.svg/2000px-Dura_Europos_L7_City_Block.svg.png)
Though it might be that I need to start thinking about it more like I'm building terrain for a fantasy dungeon than a mostly open wargaming area. Things can be cramped with so many doorways and rooms.
but as i paint figurines with enamel, i can't do it too much in the living because madame is not very happy with the smell of terebentine combined with enamel paints....so i make some breaks and go on the LAF...
As for enamels, do citrus based thinners work like they do for oil paints? I do oil washes or the occasionally blended highlight with oils and find that citrus thinner doesn't smell nearly as bad as turpentine (except for people who hate the smell of oranges).
-
Interesting, it sounds like you are describing something more like a typical maze-like Middle Eastern medina/souq. Such as the market of Aleppo, sadly damaged in recent fighting. From a gaming standpoint, somewhat more interesting than a typical Roman grid layout.
Modular sounds intriguing--you could build them on adhesive floor tiles; nine of them would be enough for a SSD game. Anyway, as you said, perhaps you should start your own topic to avoid hijacking Eric's ;)

That's look interesting. but Modular building will require a good brainstorming before assembling !

-
The only reason I could think of for a prostitute to be arrested like that in ancient Rome would have been failure to pay tax (or perhaps "exercising her office" too near a temple)! And I doubt that they would have arrested any patron who wore a toga.
-
Every is possible in the dark street of Suburra (popular part of Rome)....
Especially with the "Song of Shadows and Dust" rules.
Hope to present you some new buildings in a near future. I'm working on the Lucius Villa !
As i'm reading the adventure of Macro and Cato from the Simon Scarrow novels (http://www.catoandmacro.com/author/), i have a full list of scenarios and ideas for this project.....but so little time, sniff.
Cheers
Eric
-
Simon Scarrow gives us lots of ideas and its a joy to read Cato and Macro adventures.
I think he has a series about gladiators wish unfortunatelly i havent read yet.
Might be interesting.
-
i'm at the book 9 of the saga..... :P
and then i'll drop on that ones too o_o
-
Some new characters to fill my streets (still in building phase)... :'(
(https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7653/16487180564_203c9ab90d_b.jpg)
The 2 guys on the left are BTD Greek.
The 2 in the middle are BTD egyptians (for the Alexandria Project).
The 2 others are :
A Gripping Beast Pict Chieftain converted into a Jewish/arab merchant (just take off the sword scabbard and add a big plastic bag as a purse). Add a chest a his feet.
A Foundry Goddess turn into a merchant/slave.
More details on my blog (translate button available) ;)
Cheers
Eric

Lovelly minis. :-* :-*
The pict converted is my favorite. Great idea.

Well done Eric.
Lovelly house. :-* :-*
How many with this one?

I have some still in the building opreations and a few completly finished.
I have 4 more like that one (background purpose) at the starting point.
and an arena too.
Cheers
Eric

guess a game is needed :-)
-
i know but i don't want to start any play test until i don't have a full set of buildings to create a good game...
;)
and have a lot of fun and pictures....

What another awesome and inspiring thread!
Love the cobbled/bricked bases.

some new thugs for the dark side of the.........street :D
(https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5469/17471588276_1e26a98d88_c.jpg)
the left hand is a Redoubt Troyan slinger with a homemade club .
The clubs are made with a piece of a paper clip with glue added : Pattex then superglue and you get a strong wood club. Chimical reaction in fact).
The right guy has a Westwind head (so appreciate by Rumacara).
His body is a BTD nude Greek hoplite.
;)
Cheers

A new add to my terrain Project
(https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5462/18091037745_a299a96f53_c.jpg)
Caesar Imperator Statue !
Or something like that.....
;)
-
Nice statue.what model have you used?
-
thank.
It's a kinder egg toy about the french comics Asterix and Obelix o_o
he was glued on a wood block (stolen to my 6 years daughter) and bases on mdf.
The copplestone is sculpted directly on the wood with an engraving pen (hot pen like for wood/glass engraving).
the statue is brush with tiling glue and then painted.
Eric
-
Nice aditions Eric. :-*
-
It's turned out well from its humble beginnings as a cheap toy.good idea
-
you are right.
That's the solution : cheap become unvaluable lol lol lol

Really nice. :-* :-*
The idea of the legs transformation its simple and very efective.
-
as simple as possible .
That's what i always say !
Foundry has a good metal so for bendiing,it's an easy operation. o_o
too many "coppelstone" poses need a so small convertion to become more "alive".
;)
-
and now, ladies and gentlmen, the cherry on the cake :
With my counterpart Rui and our common Roman Project, we have made a little contest about the scratbuilding of a Roman wagon.
Here is my version. The result of my work is not a a hyper detailled model.....but for what i m looking for is enough !
The wagon is a Warbases and is very good and easy to build, even whitout plan.. ;).
We are gone from this :
(http://war-bases.co.uk/image/cache/data/CARTS/carts%20006%20(640x427)-500x500.jpg)
to this :

and with a horse from Front Rank Miniatures for comparison scale :

(https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8821/18242866546_a205b8c23d_c.jpg)
Before undercoating, the wagon was washed with a mix of water and glue for coating and then spray with a plastic primer (for plastic garden furnitures). that neutralize the mdf (drink effect) for the painting.
Now, i'm in the paint job of this beauty... o_o
Enjoy

That is an excellent diorama, beutifully constructed and painted. I love the statue with the pigeon on its head. What scale is it and who makes it?
-
this is the job of a 1/72 scale modeller, Erik Trauner...............that we can call Artist when you reach a so great level of quality.
We are here in an another world, of course. o_o

The butcher Stand !

The grey meat piece and knife on the right is coming from a plastic's WH40k Kroot equipment.
The meat cleaver is from Mantic's Gould box. It's handler is sculpted from the hand.
The small pieces of meat are 15mm bags (with a paintjob of course)
The stand is made from the mdf sprues like these lol o_o:

Wow, Eric, those are fabulous. I really like the buildings. That gives me a bit of inspiration! :)
BTW, speaking of Foundry civilians, I've one (I think he's Foundry, got him from Col. Bills) who looks like he's an old balding senator holding his toga. On his right forearm is something that looks more or less like an archer's arm guard. I don't know what it is so I don't know how to paint it. Do you have that figure or do you know what upper class Romans wore on their forearms? I'm not sure if it is leather, bronze, or what.

That's one of the purpose of my blog : give inspiration and taste to everyone !
About your fig, do you have a picture about it.
I don't remember this kind of figurine does exist in the foundry roman range.
I have some reference that are not in their web site from their civilians range.
May be yours is coming from them.
The arm guard is unknown for me. Except in the hollywood movies where you can see it everywhere, even ben hur (c Huston one) got one.
Cheers
Eric
-
Sure, here he is; half painted.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/25/12137_14_09_16_9_01_21.jpg)
Not sure what that is on his right forearm and wrist nor what color it should be.
-
ok i see.
I have this guy. And he comes from that mysterious pack that i found in the Foundry Stand few years ago at Crisis.
It's a roman ambassador (see my blog (http://chti-reanimator59.blogspot.fr/2014/11/re-animator-into-wild.html) for more info . Ref CIV 18 and unknown at Foundry web site.
I ask them a question about this pack and never received an answer....
Foundry and his special business relationship :?
i paint it as gold strap and it's look good for me

Eric, thanks for posting that Ancient Warfare issue on your blog. My 15mm Pontic army has been sitting because I can't find any illustrations or paint scheme ideas. Seems like there is not much out there about how the Pontic army looked. I have a book in French, which I unfortunately don't read, but has nice computer-generated illustrations for the Ptolemaic Kingdom. I was planning to go with those.
Before I order that copy of AW, does it contain decent illustrations? How is the article itself?
Best regards,
Richard
-
There is few plates in Ancient warfare but a lot of very useful articles.
1 plate for the cover.
1 about imitation legionaries
1 on cataphract cavalryman
1 on egyptian navy
1 on greek siege warfare
And a central ouble pages on roman siege warfare
All plates are original ones
As a wargames since 1979, i have learn some new things about Mithridates.
Cheers

Thank you Rui.
And very simple to complete.
it's work on any figurines with a relative pose made for .
The first african warrior held a gun that i cut off to receive the chain and the homemade handcuffs ;)
take a cheap fantasy necklace for the chain and some superglue to make it rigid.

BOF Studios have released a range of Roman civilian types although unfortunately not up yet properly on their site. Catalogue page is here (http://www.bofstudio.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=5&zenid=d24335a190b6a4fe0657b12685496697). The figures are very nice although properly proportioned 28mm as opposed to the normal chunky types.

and an another one made from Perry plastic sudanese :
;)
(https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4326/35187244174_255f04091d_c.jpg)
only chains added.
For other possibilities just change the heads for hairy / bearded ones :D

New addition to the Project :
an ancient millstone (homemade) and a Foundry donkey ;)

I am really, really loving the scratch-built inventiveness and ingenuity. I love the millstone, not because it has anything to do with a battle between armies but because it is one of those subtle details that turn the battlefield from a generic table top into the illusion of a real place.
I can't wait to see all these projects put together on a gaming table together. :-*

little piece of terrain makes always the bill ;)
Need time to prepare the scenarios to use with the town.
I have in mind to feature my city more in Ostia than in Rome for being original.
But i need to built some docks warehouses and some quays but who says harbour says boats !
So i'll need to scratch-build one or two roman transport boats then :?
-
The Grand Manner ones will give you some good ideas. ;)

but i need some courage to start the first one.
I still have some ideas to start the boat project but actually working on "desert" tents i would to finish it first.

Nice. From Alix books?

yes

Hadrians walls from Hovels, scratchbuilt boat and dock and you have it Eric... :D
As you say Rui !
Just do it.........in a few months ;D

Interesting project. Bravo! :D

if any one have news about this.....

before i get a nervous breakdown about a new range.... lol lol lol lol
when i have nearly finsih my project..

Only from what is on their Facebook page, leaking some interesting snippets.
-
I've started a thread on GoR here http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=104408.0
There is information filtering through. It will be small model count, uses coins and stat cards, each "fighter" has unique stats, uses a "jigsaw base" to track wounds and ID minis and it will be supported with terrain.
I have the feeling it isn't a large sweeping game of gang warfare that I feel you and Rui want to achieve. A little confused and intrigued at the moment by it. :?
-
Thank you Furt for the informations.
I'm interested about the figurines if any. If Footsore produce some references, it could be very fun.
Cheers

I chatted with them a bit and they have said that "We have created a complete game consisting of male and female gang members, Roman citizens to acts as the mob and lots and lots of buildings so you can build the streets and alleyways of Rome."

Footsore had just added some new Pictish warriors that could be use for conversion as roman gangers or slaves.
(https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0657/9717/products/03PSC107-b.jpg?v=1503757828)
get off the Xbow and add a club, a spear, a pitchfork and it's done : You have a badguys gang.
;)
or use these ones without shields :

yes, i'm back to the roman world !
After a long trip into the PALAEO world right here (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=103616.0) !
i have just return to this Project, where some new stuff are coming to feel in this topic.
Back with basing job to see on my blog (https://chti-reanimator59.blogspot.fr/2018/04/le-printemps-du-re-animator.html).
French text but the google translator button is betterr than ever to get the feel.
Some of my picts converted into roman thugs by a simple paint job !

Nice work
-
thank you gostgost.
here it is a little display test for most of my buidlings. Without all the add-ons like slaves market, market's place with all the stands, chariots, etc.....
Just to see how far i have to go in the scratchbuilding of houses etc.....to get a good playing area
test 1

i think, i have to add a more buildings to create some back alleys
Cheers
Eric
-
Very well done Eric. :-* :-*
Thats a lot of buildings you have there. :o
-
Thank you Rui,
Yes, a lot of building and..... cheap ones too :D
In my opinion, i think it's too empty lol lol
I have few houses to add and i ll try to fill the gaps. ;)
Eric

You could probably add wall sections quite quickly to create the alleys and break up the open spaces. Quick and cheap, whats not to like ;)

Walls and one or two arched passageway between down town (suburia like) and the city.... :D

There's definitely nothing wrong with adding more buildings to the table,and your collection. The more you have the more variation in the layout.
But at the moment I think your doing yourself a disservice . You've made some nice buildings .As you mentioned you've not added your set dressing(slave market,market stalls ,and chariots) So the spaces are going to look massive. Plus the more you add the less room for Sausage fingers to push figures around.
I'd recommend a couple more tests with the dressing pieces added. As a market stall that close,but not pushed against a wall,makes an alley (of sorts)
Are you set on having the temple central? As there's a couple of quick ideas that would change the flow of the layout.
Have you thought about a couple of walled gardens,courtyards ,and or compounds.Or separate porticos and colonnades. that can be placed against existing builds? They'd be fast additions to build and versitle.

thank you for your advice.
i'm just at the start of the layout and have a few buildings to add...
May be the market place could fill the gap by itself.
i'm not limited in gaming area but i don't want to get one to large, for gaming purpose ;)
and you are right for the "sausage fingers" lol lol lol lol lol
Cheers
Eric
-
They all look great. By all means add more if you want to add variety, but if not I think you’ve got plenty. You need open spaces after all to get in and move the figures about.
You could always leave a large open plaza in the middle for a big showdown, meaning the buildings will be more squeezed in around the edges leaving the narrower back alleys for assassins and thugs to lurk and ambush from
-
Eric,
Just to throw the cat amongst the pigeons.
Why have only one large square?
Why not hide the square footage around the board.
Reduce the big open space and have one or two additional smaller squares each with one of the statues from in front of the temple (will help make each open space feel smaller).
Why do all the buildings need to sit on the same XY axis? Not every street needs to be orientated on a grid.
Remember your Chelmsford 123 .'straight is great ' but 'bendy is trendy',or 'curvy is pervy' if it doesn't work for you. ;)
-
Tin Shed Gamer - if the area is meant to be that near the Forum, than the buildings will sit on the XY axis. You can get "bendy" in other neighborhoods.
-
The forum in Rome is a complex series of builds and isn't without curved streets and buildings both with in the complex and around it.
Not all forums were strictly squared . The one in the picture is in Jordan.
Eric,
I've included a few pictures for an added sense of congestion ,and there's a picture of a smaller market away from a forum. These turn up all over the place small towns ,the poorer suburbs in cities.
-
thank you all for your ideas...
As i'm not trying to build a true roman city, or even Rome... i'll keep my project to a moderate size ;)
to give a good playing area.
The most important at the moment is to "break" the corridor effect of the streets with some walls...and gates ;)

and all depend too about the different scenarios to play with ;)
-
I'd say your on target.
The point I was quite spectacularly failing to make whilst racing a dying phone battery. Was simply trying to show two things . Streets look massive without people,and shrink once they're in it.
Also there's no issue with a gridded settlement,or indeed on which has organically evolved through constant habitation. As both are present with in a Roman context.In short what ever you do will be a Roman settlement.
I think your choice of arches is the right way to go.
It dawned on me once I sae your artists impressions of street life. Why your roads look so wide . Foot paths . You've none by raising your buildings on plinths you'll get foot paths and sunken roads. This will make the spaces appear smaller.
The plinths don't need to be attached to buildings nor do they need to be for just one building. Then having arches cut through the footpaths will help create bottle necks and Choke points.ideal for gaming.

to give you some ideas of games, look at the "Song of Shadows & Dust " 's author blog :

Sorry Eric,
I've not had the time until now to reply. I took the time to follow your links,and I'd say if that's the styling your aiming for . Then your on target,and seeing the progress you've made with the arches I'd go as far as to say your raising the bar.

(https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/908/40171250270_e60c0f00e4_b.jpg)
now at the painting step !
-
A nice idea, well executed, that will certainly add another dimension both visually and in a gaming sense.
8) 8)
One tip from when I carved stuff from foam: Add some PVA into your primer layer as it adds strength and stops the foam 'eating' so much of the paint.
;)

Right Mason.
But as i use glue-varnish with paper handkerchiefs, i don't need it.
The glue-varnish transforming the foam into a rigid material o_o
-
I’d agree with Tin Shed’s comments about adding the footpaths...once you’ve got slightly raised areas you’d be amazed how quickly the space in between buildings seems to get eaten up.
Really like your walls/arches.

i forgot the wall's roofing o_o
now it's better with tiles ;) and based

That looks cracking!

Those tiles look good. What did you use?
-
The basing and roof really pull it together. :-*
-
Those tiles look good. What did you use?
as you can see on the picture, i use a piece of corrugated paper (a green one this time).
All my buildings are based on this same roofing style where tiles are needed. Cost : nearly nothing
the tiles are design with a simple cutter.
I draw lines with the cutter and a ruler to simulate the tile lines. Don't press on the cutter to cut only the rounded shape of the corrugated paper
simple but efficient, isn't it ? ;)
a sample :

Totally changed the whole thing .
The walls instantly give narrative It looks like place rather than just a group of buildings.
No question Bar raised.

Right Mark
and for the pictures i have used only 5 walls (4 shorts and one long)....
;D

During the work on the walls i got a new idea to add more items in my projet...
Who says Wall, says scaffold and who says scaffold, says masons ;)
so here they are :

converted from a Crusader's Irish and Foundry 's nude greek hoplite...

And 2 greeks from BTD
Actually at the paint desk ;D

Simple conversions but efficient ones o_o

Like Mark said, the walls add a whole new level to your table setup. Also, I like the temporary structures, makes for a 'lived in' look.
That said, splashes of colour here and there would be nice, like painted walls or different kinds of shingles. Greeks and Romans had a weak spot for garishly painted statues and some such. :D

i know that romans like flashy colors and are used to paint their statues....but i don't want to give a too much "roman" style to the buildings because i have planed to use some of them for other periods/areas ;)
Just found that in a car boot sale for the harbour sector of the city :
(https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/886/42249706072_1afae56582_b.jpg)
a playmobil galley at the unbeatable price of..... 5 euros. Missing a lot of part but it' not a problem for me because i need only the shape to build mine :D

Great finding Eric.
Could you please take a photo with a figure on the deck please?
I would love to have an idea of the size of the ship. :)

i have just to dismantle the ship. o_o o_o o_o o_o
i think it's the good size but i'll reduce the handrail 's size (or change it) and the mast 's size ;). i have to clean up the deck too from the playmobil 's
i 'll post a comparison picture as soon as it's possible
;)
-
Well, i will wait for your conversion then. :)
-
i'll rebuilt the ship for the picture tomorrow afternoon :D

Looking forward to it.
I quite enjoy seeing how others recycle and repurpose items.

Eric dont waist time on that.
Go forward with your conversion. ;)

Indeed with some work, the playmobil boat will work fine.
And nice conversion on that gladiator. ;)

Was watching on the bon coin to find one but wasnt sure for the scale. Very useful! Thank you

Now that shows a lot of promise.
Good find!

Try to find a boat not complete so you'll get a better price o_o o_o as
mine was used for the bath and full of calcarous marks ;)

Gross ones but you can't work without get dirty (try to explain that to you wife o_o)

new addition needs ;
A crane for the workers and for the harbour....
i'll try a scratchbuild of that one (less sophisticated)
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/96/f2/26/96f226297b958c0a07d7dc8e0e80159e.jpg)
as i try to keep the cost low .
-
Eric,
It'll be a useful and interesting addition.
I know your planning on building your own,and I'm all for it ,much more satisfying.No doubt your aware of them, but just in case your not. I've added pictures of the Sarissa cranes . (£15,and £12.50) As sometimes a little extra expenses save the more valuable aspect of time.(It's how I prefer to work build everything I can ,and buy only when its going to save a shed load of time :D )
If nothing else they'll help you speed up a parts list.
Mark.
-
thank you Mark.
i knew them. They are great ones.
the most difficult to realise is the wheel and you can use that one if you are like me (more builder than buyer). ;) as a good start for the crane.
(http://blotz.co.uk/images/B28_ST_101.JPG)
For the 28mm one, it'll cost you £5.00 from Blotz, available too in 15mm and 20mm scale.

I fully understand. I spend all day making models for other people.With three children at university, my personal project budget often stretches no further than cereal packet card.

Hey guys,
After a long long long time without additions for this Project.
Here i'm back to present you my next terrain piece ; A slave jail made from nothing (as usual)...
From a little basket given by Pascal, one of my club's buddies, i have create a small jail/cage for my slave's market place.

Well, the cage's top is cut (one third from the top) and glue to the middle level.
then i add some big matches to feature iron bars and make the basket more strong too ;)

thank you Nic,
The Assassin is simply a paint work.
i have all ready some Foundry Wrestlers from the Gladiator range but i need two more and none in stock so the solution is ; Find the good chaps for the work in the lead mountain.

Last week-end, i got a new idea for this project.
Create a fire brigade for the city (Vigiles urbanis)
Few pictures are available so i'll try to produce something with historical background but not too close of reality because i'm not in a modelling guy but a wargamer.
so the figurines will be done as i imagine them.
The firemen have some attibutes : axe (Dolabra), rope, water backet...
i found some French texts about that and i'll use them for the task.
i found in the kids toys box a western wagon that will become the fire cart of the Vigiles

For my Wresler gang i found a Leader in my Heroclix figurines stock.
1st version of Hercules i think. With a Westwind bearded head.
the paint work will give him the final Wrestler look ;)
(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48582457637_7a51889e47_k_d.jpg)
And for the Fire brigade,
i have made some water backets with cheap fantasy beads and the handlers with plastic bristles coming from a street broom.
(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48574164491_53d01e2d8a_k_d.jpg)

Nice conversions!
Your Hercules looks mighty and fearsome, fit for the job!
Cheers!

when i saw him, i told myself ; That's the guy i need for leading my Wrestler gang ;D
The new "Hercules" wasn't so good but more strong. I convert him into a big Gladiator (see here (http://chti-reanimator59.blogspot.com/2014/03/re-animator-vous-informe.html))
and a pictures of the 3 Foundry's wrestlers i have already done :
(https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8454/29255132460_fd9cef3415_b.jpg)
They are waiting renforcement since September 2016 to become a true gang.
They are happy now !
-
the Wrestler 's Leader is back in town, with reinforcement...

and a lonely assassin

meanwhile, the fire brigade is ready for the coming events :

I particularly like the dog.

That chained dog is great -- it calls out for a sign or graffito noting "cave canem!"

No sign, just a dangerous look seems to be sufficient with that dog lol
details note ; did you notice the poo and urine puddle on the base ? ;)
-
Going to the lengths of including urine,
now that is just taking the p*** !
