I put a post up a couple of weeks ago at the start of my 28mm Victrix Allied Italian Legion Project and I'm going to use this as a thread for the whole build.
I've laid out the project bases on the table as blanks and will fill them in as I go along. Its part of my attack at the Analogue Hobbies Winter Paint Challenge so I've got till March 21st to get them done. Can I do it ?

Here's the build to date unit by unit

VERY nice. I look forward to seeing your progress.
-
Cool. Going to be massive. Will you only use Victrix models ?

Cool. Going to be massive. Will you only use Victrix models ?
The vast majority are Victrix, however 3 boxes don't quite make up the numbers and 4 would leave loads spare so I am using the odd Agema figure to fill out the ranks. There are 8 Velite that I can't find so I may need to improvise with them.
My Cavalry is from Aventine Miniatures which is the main deviation away from Victrix

Very nice, you are getting through them fast enough, well done

32 isn't a batch. 6 is a batch. Maybe 8.

I paint them in 8s if that helps lol
32 based and finished together out of 220 plus figures has a batchy kind of feel :D

Want!
I'd really like to have a roman army with a couple of roman legions and a couple of allied legions. When you start on your second Roman allied legion, will you stick with the white theme or switch it up with something else?

Many thanks, its an interesting question. My Roman Legion is in all Red so I'm going to stick to white for the rest of the Italian Allied Legion. If I went on to do more it would be while as I need to build up my Punic forces to match the Romans next.
I'd have to look more into it, red Romans and white Italian Allied were the colours people always used when I did my first (6mm) Ancient Armies in the 80s, since then people have moved onto other colours but that seems to be more of a tabletop recognition thing rather than new research.
If I get through these before the 21st March I think I will be having a Roman break lol

Those look great. Those are some seriously large shields to be carrying on horseback.

And no stirrups! I used to be a fair horseman, but there's no way I could do it.

All queries re historical accuracy to Aventine Miniatures please, those helmet plumes are mad as a box of frogs as well ! lol

The progress photo at the end fills me with a bit of hope that I might actually get this done.
If you do take time to click on the link above it would be great if you have a look round some other posts on the Analogue Hobbies Winter Paint Challenge some great entries this year.
See you in a couple of days for some Commanders.

Closing in on the end now, the second of two, two figure, Command Bases, these Victrix horses are lovely but rather large, not sure if three would fit on a 60mm frontage like the rest of my Cavalry.
Last batch of Principes next.

This is a terrific looking army. White is not an easy colour to use, and you do it well. Love the basing, simple but very effective. Love your blog too! Keep up the good work!
-
Many thanks, the basing is very much old school but is mostly because I have nearly 30,000 figs plus terrain all based the same way. Any change would mean re basing a lot of stuff and to be honest, I'm happy with it and would rather paint new units 😀

I gave up trying to find my 8 #Velites deserters so these lads have been recruited from @Gripping_Beast to fill the gap. Just Triarii and a Command Base to go.

'It has come to the Triarii'
(Roman Saying) Meaning this is the deciding point.
Well done on all your work. I am envious.
