I forgot to mention in the blog that I pruned off the plumes except for the figure I imagine to be an optio. Once I've got a few more cohorts done for my speculative Legio XI I'll have to build some enemies. No hurry though. For anyone interested the link is next: https://unluckygeneral.blogspot.com/2017/12/caesarian-romans-my-cohors-ii-legio-xi.html (https://unluckygeneral.blogspot.com/2017/12/caesarian-romans-my-cohors-ii-legio-xi.html)

They look excellent and I do like the idea of the ‘new’ shield quickly stencilled. Will
steal borrow that idea.

I like your painting style- very straight forward and effective.
-
Very nice, those! It's good to see legionary shields painted in a colour other than 'Hollywood red.'
-
Nice work, especially the shields
-
Thank you gents. As I'm a couple of thousand miles from home on posting, I didn't bring the making for finishing my bases - that will happen in a year or two.

The shields look very effective, what colour did you use for the wooden part of the pilum? It has a decent grainy wood look to it.

Thanks John. Actually I think I just painted it up straight using thinned Humbrol Wood - can't recall the number. I use Valejo for skins and brass but Humbrol enamels for everything else. I may have black washed them but probably just thinned the brown down and added some black - tends to wash over unevenly. I don't normally bother with wood grain effects on this scale.
