Title: Caesarian Romans
Post by: Axebreaker on March 21, 2025, 06:38:49 AM: Started some Caesarian Romans for Midguard/Impetus. Wanted to do these for a long time and finally got around to it.

Post by: Mad Doc Morris on March 21, 2025, 04:27:38 PM: Excellent stuff, Chris! You nailed that weathered, battle-hardened look :-*
Just as I pondered a return to my long lost Late Republicans ...

Please keep 'em coming!

@Garth

Then I imagine you will start them very close to your retirement considering how fast you paint miniatures, because by the time I've finished applying the first layers of color to a unit you've done an army! lol

Ummm I would need a much larger head start, because in addition to being a slow painter I get distracted a bit too easily! lol Anyhow looking forward to your results.

Post by: DalyDR on March 21, 2025, 09:27:28 PM: Good stuff. Those Copplestone sculpted Caesarians are still my favorite 28mm Romans out there, even after 20+ years.

I could tell they were Copplestones instantly! I've got some recently and besides having to glue swords and carve out hands, they are very very nice figs.
