Thanks Steve.

Here we go then. The figures painted for the last round of the LPL, now closed for voting. (But plenty more to come in the next round, which starts tomorrow!)

These are all Footsore (ex-Musketeer) miniatures.

The cavalry are a mix of Late Roman and Arthurian / Romano-British and possibly one or two Goth types. The infantry are Late Roman / Romano-British.

The shield decals are by LBM, but fairly heavily over-painted by me to blend and weather them in...

Thanks Mick.
Not much use for your WW2 German uniform book I'm afraid, but I've finished with the Afrika Korps for the time being  ;)

Yummy! I think they actually look somehow nicer against the stark white background than in their scene, and I don't usually find that to be the case. Brings out the colours and makes them look richer or something, I guess. I have no idea...

I really like the 'roman red' that hints at their roots  8)

They look bloody gorgeous!
In fact, they look so nice there should a rule that the opposition have to stand and gawp at them as they get run down by those cavalry.
Superb work.

More good stuff 8)

One, very minor, crit; spears should always be held, roughly​, in the middle. I got a rollicking from BillT for doing the same thing  ;)

Thanks Jon  :)

Well, in my defence, all I can say is that based on my (admittedly limited) spear-throwing experience, I'd agree one normally holds a spear in the middle for jabbing etc. But for extra heft when throwing, you naturally tend to let your hand slide a little towards the head end to deliver that extra bit of 'push' and thus weight and accuracy to the throw. Not sure of the physics, but instinct makes you do that. It does depend on the relative materials and weights of the spearshaft and spearhead of course - a heavy shaft with a negligible weight from the spearhead would let you throw from the centre of the shaft perfectly well. But with a hefty spearhead on a lightweight shaft, if I threw from the middle of the shaft, my thrown spear would take a definite nosedive...

There again, my re-enactment career lasted only a few weeks and took place 25 years ago!  ;)

Extremely well done, thank you for posting this thread, your minis are beautiful.
