Re: Roman skirmish proyect!!! This time Auxiliaries!!!
« Reply #15 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.

Superb. I like the pallid tones, and the paintwork is brilliantly sharp. Thanks.
