Rounding off my 4 pt. starter warband for SAGA, their "warlord" has just entered the building: Felicianus Vindex, centurion of the Fourth Legion, has taken command to lead this rabble to honour and glory (and booty, if you please).



Actually, it's two models, since I wanted a mounted version as well. Lucky me, the same sculptor, who produced this miniature for Aventine recently, had done a fairly similar one on horseback for A&A as well.



Some notes on the model: The dress is purely conjectural, if based on interpretations by the likes of Graham Sumner and Raffaele D'Amato (handle with care!). My main point, though, was to have a leader model that really stands out on the tabletop. Therefore I also did a little freehand on the shield - silly me, for I had to replicate this, of course.

Finally, I made some custom dice for SAGA. Since we use the battleboards as provided, I tried some "Romanised" designs which still resemble the original ones.



More background and photos on the blog. Many thanks for watching!

Amazing! Great work, so those dice, did you paint them or did you have them made?

And what force are you using to represents the Romans for SAGA.

Very clever with the dice idea.

Impressive painting jobs on those centurions!! And very well done dice (And cheap!!  )

Nice whites - always hard to pull off over such a large area, but they work here.
