They look great. I like the pale skin. I look forward to seeing more.

And I believe they really did stand on the yoke like that!

Is the Boudica Chariot of Warlord Games, but i used another plastic figures from Warlord and Gripping Beast, the minis is not glue, cos i want figures can jump and fight and keep the chariot on the board without the miniatures more for real, the miniatures is staked with clips, the irregular base is for the games workshop i cut and adapted for the chariot

Unusual but effective! Are you a member of the LOTR Variants Yahoo group? Someone has written rules for Celts and Romans and posted them there in the files section.

Thanks for the comments, i dint know about yahoo group with modifications rules for Celts, thank u very much Onebigriver, about the skins i send some pictures for a competition in internet and some comments say me that i dont have to use cameraflash cos the skin looks so palid, but i painted the skin in this way :'(, i updated some pictures more for some warriors and the first roman. Im going to paint romans with normal skin to make differents i hope they look well together in the same board, its just to represent in the celts a different atmosphere, more cold and sinister but not with this i try to say that they are the bad, its just to make it different!!!it is frustrating not being able to express myself as I want, damn "Tower of Babel"

Nice painting, and dont worry about the skin. If you have ever seen us british on the first day on holiday in spain then you are very close  lol
(for the second day very red skin tones are needed)

Even for a nerdy Englishman my skin is pretty damn pale, so it's nice to see us ghoulish types represented in miniature. I also have a buff Celtic body like those chaps ( lol)

Really nice work. I think the skin gives them a nice sinister look, but not in a particularly unrealistic or fantasised way!

Looks pretty good to me, I am American with Anglo-Irish ancestry and even at my most tanned. I will be only a few shades darker then your average albino.  lol

Title: Re: Roman skirmish proyect!!! This time Auxiliaries!!!
Post by: Mencey on 19 December 2013, 09:44:13 PM


Continuing the project of the Romano-Celtic skirmish I plan, I have completed a "contubernium" auxiliaries composed of soldiers who did not have Roman citizen. Each century was divided into 10 platoons of eight soldiers, called "contubernium." Its main purpose was to support the Roman Legions in combat. Auxiliary highlighted at border posts in the "limes" Empire and what I represent, a Celtic attack to a point where the auxiliaries are trying to build a "castellum cohortis". In wip to finish four archers, a scorpion as heavy support and a leader, it is unknown who was at its head, but it is possible that immune and leading soldiers signifer, Optio and tesserarius of each century, were responsible for a "contubernium" concrete .
 I hope u enjoy it :)

Very dramatic poses, ideal for a skirmish game - good brushwork too. Will be a nice unit with the archers and scorpion added.
