Last of the Aliens for the School Club.
Do have some Humans still to do.

Three nasty mortars, well they are firing body parts!!!!
Bought off e-bay. Assembled & basic paint job.
I just did some tidying & tarting up.

Also from e-bay, some Republican Romans.
The previous owner had done quite a nice job,
(that's why I bought them) but seemed to have
lost interest & not finished them.
some repair & tart up work from me & they are
ready to play in a skirmish game...when I paint
up some opposition that is.
The Decurion & standard bearer I added from the
lead pile. In my haste to get the unit off the painting
table I didn't notice the Lorica Segmentata until too late.
At some stage he will have to be replaced, and yes I
know almost no likelihood that the standard would
be with just 10 legionaries, but I anted an even number
of figures in the 'Unit'.

Ten sestertii for those that noticed Quintus (fifth) was in
the wrong place in the parade.

Some more Alien Flora.
No prizes for guessing what member of the household
fug up & chewed the root/branch. Hint, it weren't me
or the wife.

Phenomenal output Pete - you're on a roll !!

Thanks Gregor, but the 'Mountain' is still large.
I have decided to NOT study too closely what
still is in it, but to just enjoy my little victories.

Really like the Romans - I recently painted some of these - like that each of yours has a name certainly good for skirmish games... so you will be needing some barbarians to take them on... can't wait to see their names...

The obvious opponents would be Carthaginians, but I don't have any
of them in the Lead Mountain. I do have some Celts though, so I
might do them up as Gauls. I am tinkering with the idea oftaking their
names from my collection of Asterix books.

Great idea - you should see this idea then https://www.warlordgames.com/gallery-asterix/

Nice job on those.
Somewhere I do have some Asterix (Metal Magic ?) figures,
& even ran a silly Christmas game using them.

An Alien Ambassador & his bodyguards.
They are resin prints & I took the option for 'Heroic' scale.
It means they are taller, which I think adds to the Alien look.
