Title: Romans, Celts, Thracians & a Greek
Post by: Jacksarge on July 25, 2020, 02:27:06 AM
G'day all,
here's some ancients that I've finished recently. All 28mm metal from Aventine, Foundry, & Footsore ranges. Leadbear's Tufts used on the bases. The Roman shield designs are decals, the rest are freehand. Very impressed by Aventine miniatures. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Great work.

What range is the Greek Please?
Title: Re: Romans, Celts, Thracians & a Greek
Post by: Jacksarge on July 25, 2020, 01:04:18 PM
Thanks everyone.

@Digits - the Greek is from Footsore's Mortal God's range.

Stunning brushwork!
I love the Marcus Aurelius Romans. As for the Republicans in subarmalis, are they also from Aventine?

Thanks very much Philippe.
Yes the Republican Romans are also available from Aventine miniatures. If you are interested I have painted more Romans which I can share pictures of.

The Thracians are also from Footsore's "Mortal Gods" range, I believe. I have a few of them myself. I was hoping to mix them in with some 1st Corps Thracians but alas, they're like a head taller than those boys, so it just looked too weird :D I'm thinking I'll use them for a "command group" at some point.

Those look great!

I know the imperial Romans have a great WOW factor due to the armor and helmets, but I have a special love of Republican Romans and yours are wonderful.

Are the two at the top of the page the Warlord "Pullo and Vorenus" pack? If not, it's an uncanny resemblance  :D

Yet more beautiful Romans and Celts found on the same day (I have just been ogling Jeff's offerings).
Stunning!
