Title: Republican Romans and Cavalry
Post by: James Morris on 25 June 2021, 07:15:43 PM

Following my unexpected Punic Wars gaming of the last few weeks, I finished off a unit of Roman allied cavalry that had been sat in a box for four years and grabbed some photos of them with my Victrix Roman (mini) legion.  Horses have been done with oil paints over a coloured undercoat and the riders are mostly GW Contrasts. 

There are many more pictures and some painting details on my blog:

Cool.   I might have to give oil paints a try.

I am not super keen on the Victrix Roman Cavalry, so maybe I will steal your idea.  I have plenty of left over Roman heads I could use.

Glad it’s helpful!  I only did it out of necessity, but the Iberian cavalry are lovely models.
