Title: (AP 2017) Late Romans for WAB
Post by: TWD on July 24, 2017, 08:28:19 PM
Long, long ago, when Footsore miniatures was called Musketeer and figures were distributed by Gripping Beast and the balance of hair on my skull was more firmly weighted in favour of the top of my head than my chin I set about collecting a Late Roman army for WAB.
Then I got distracted and someone killed WAB and Footsore moved to America and everyone grew older if not necessarily wiser.

Anyway later this year I'm going to go to Peterborough to play WAB, huzzah! (about the WAB bit if not the Peterborough bit so much)
So I thought maybe I'd use AP 2017 to try and finally get the Late Romans on the table.

Here's the only unit so far finished:

And here's a picture of some random stuff I found in my loft I'll be working on:

And here are some WiP command who'll form part (or possibly all) of my August entry.

There's a bit more rambling about the project over on my blog:

OK, so I missed August altogether, the three command models from the first post remain unfinished and it's only two months until the tournament but I have managed to get eight (count 'em) Sagittarii finished

Looking good! I like the drab feeling, giving them a 'veteran' look
