Victrix EIR Auxiliaries

[Mad Doc Morris]

Truly inspirational work, SP, as ever! You really get the best out of these plastic kits.
Can't say that it's the best representation of chainmail I've seen as it looks a bit like scale armour. But that's the sculpting and not to take away from your paintjob. Seriously got me considering a purchase. Oh well.

Amazing! Nevertheless, that mail armour must be heavy, with no waist belts to support the weight at the hips!

Yeah, that depiction, most likely derived from Trajan's column, is a bit off. Would have preferred to see these guys wearing waist belts, because it's an accepted detail nowadays. Despite the Bishop/Coulston comment, weight isn't that much of an issue as the baldric sliding with every movement.

Well done, and they definitely look like they are on campaign!

[Jeff965]

Great work on some very nice sculpts

[Corso]

Their gritty look is amazing

He looks bad ass. Is his cuirass of hardened leather (or is that just his natural man chest? ).

Have to agree that the armour is in fact the one thing I dislike about these sculpts, which is a shame as I've waited some time for a versatile set of plastic auxiliaries for a Batavian Revolt project. Here's hoping they go for a different pattern when they start their Dark Age range at some point in the next year(s).

The paintjob is still on point though. The gritty look fits them very well indeed.

I just noticed it wasn't shiney so assumed it wasn't meta...
