Excellent! Those Victrix do look like the Romans to get  :P
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

Thank you! My plan is to have 9 regular and 1 first cohorts.
Supporting units will be 2 infantry auxilla (archer when Victrix finish them and one regular) and 2 units of cavalry (hope they will be finished soon).
I am just collecting historical miniatures, not playing (unfortuatelly).

So as the first cohort is double sized that's 275 figures PLUS your planned auxiliaries and cavalry.... :o will look impressive if you manage to finish!
