A Work in Progress Shot of the next unit. 3 Models to do and then the basing.



I aim to have 4 units to a division for Hail Caesar plus peltasts and archers/slingers. 

2 units will be with the spears at rest while 2 will be advancing spears at attack.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Splendid work - these look even better than the first lot.   Will be most interested to see how this project progresses.

Lovely work.
I'm hoping, sometime soon, to start a similar project like this for myself.
Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.

These are great looking! I have the Immortals Spartans and Athenians. You make them great looking! Now off to continue painting them...

So after a very very long time I have some updates ! - I am also working on some new saxons for the Dark ages project should be up soon :)















I have found that you can mix some of the Foundry line in with the victrix and if you use the plastic shields it will give you a few more options for poses as they mix quiet well.

Anyway I hope to have another 56 or some models painted by Jan next year when we put a game on at cancon.  Will post more as I paint :)

Cheers

JP
