I thoroughly enjoyed dragging these out of the lead pile and finally putting paint to lead, ten years after original purchase:

Terrific figures, even if they are on the large side of 18mm.

A couple more pictures here for anyone interested: http://tinmountain.blogspot.com/2020/05/15mm-republican-roman-pilum-armed.html

Nice!

I'm more partial to the Republican Romans and those came out a treat!

Are those hand painted shields?

Beautifully painted

Are those hand painted shields?

I could be wrong but they look to me like the Xyston Republican Roman LBMS transfers Tim.

Those are stunning! Really well painted. The sculpts look good too.

Very neat brushwork

Thanks. Yes. the shield decals are by Little Big Men Studios. I wish I could paint that well free-hand!

At that scale all is forgiven

I used to hand paint all of my shields and guess what? It took absolutely ages!!! I mean ages......

I simply don't bother now though I still hand paint heraldry and livery colours with the odd standard/banner thrown in.

Thanks again for the kind words. I have now finished the Triarii so thought I'd add a couple more pictures to the original post:

Excellent work

Xyston are amazing mini's. I think they're the best 15/18mm mini's out there.

Very nice work! I need to get on my Xyston Persians and Macedonians.
