Romans and Celts for Infamy2 (30/12/20)

[Jeff965]

So with a couple of new sets of Ancient rules on the horizon namely Infamy Infamy from Too fat Lardies and Clash of Spears from across the pond, I've started painting up some figures to be used with them.
First up are 8 Auxiliary infantry, very nice plastics from Victrix (though I am a bit worried about the spears being a little fragile) and shield transfers from LBM.
As I paint more figures I'll post them on this thread as it keeps me motivated, hope you like them

Wow... those look awesome, and particularly impressive how the back of the shields look

Superb painting! Great job!

Ref concerns about plastic spears: I'm doing a Republican Roman force for Clash of Spears and am replacing all pila, javelins and spears with steel ones. I find the typical 'North Star' (etc) steel wire spears great for throwing/thrusting spears and I use ones intended for 15mm figures for pila and javelins - I'm just going to paint these latter types to look like they have a long iron shank which will work fine for 4th century BC Romans - wouldn't be so good for imperials of course as you wouldn't get the hefty weighted part.
Steel spears would work ok for auxilia though if you were worried about plastic ones snapping...
