I prefer metal unless the mini has some astoundingly fine detail.

I am glad to bring to your attention new figures.
The legate horse in two versions. I couldn't decide to make the horse calmer or more violent (after all, the rider has a gigantic will, even if he rides a horse after death) ...
I look forward to your comments. I like the comments.

The horse should be terrified (the more action pose), but should also show signs of death.
I could believe in an undead Legate on an undead horse, not a live horse though.

Any idea of when these will be available (any/all of the range), from whom & how much?

All your figures are well-sculpted and have a nice movement.
Especially the walking, the men with the swords and the standing ones look very convincing undead.
As for he legatus, I agree with has.been, I would prefer to see him on an undead horse.
Keep up your so very original job!

Thank! I thought very hard. Yes. I will make a horse - undead. As an option.
On the one hand, a guy who can act despite the fact that he died will be able to conquer a horse. The Nazgul rode real animals.
But if you want it to be really horror - then it will be a horse - undead!
After that I will submit all of this to Raven Banner Games.

Yes! I will make a version of the horse that forgot that she died ... but it will be very terrible !!!

Wonderful, wonderful sculpts.

An undead/skeletal horse will be great.

Looks like you have a pretty good range now - dare one hope they will be available on general release soon?

Fantastic range!  Great job!

One thing to consider is that, since Romans carry such big shields, make those heads look really, really undead, and the backs and shins look very decayed as that's what will be visible. 

Also, you might wish to consider some kind of decals that would fit on the shields. 

I love what you are doing with them!  I hope you make Greeks and Conquistadors in the future!

I want to thank everyone for their support and feedback.

We will be preparing a Kickstarter with soon. Stretch goals will include “Loyal to the End” auxiliaries, artillery and a few other characters.

What stretch goal figures would YOU like to see??

Great to hear.

Undead camp followers/sutler & etc would be interesting. Perhaps even carts drawn by skeletal oxen.

The proposed Auxillia and other miniatures sound great.

Decals would also be interesting.

Really, anything which compliments the theme and setting you've developed.

Very  keen to help make this range a reality.

Could I suggest you make a common parts and make them perfectly, like a few skulls, shins, feet, arms, pila, swords, and so on? 

This way, you sculpt something just a few times (one per version), you get it PERFECT, and then re-use for all the other minis you are making.

Make sense? 

I think you are doing something wonderful, here.  I am very excited about the range.

Thanks a lot for the idea.
But sculpture is my hobby. I like to sculpt. I'm interested in sculpting a lot. This increases skill. And the figures as a group represent the plot.
It is very difficult to make universal torso, arms, legs - that could fit all figures.
And there is one more unpleasant moment - something that can be glued may stop being glued.

I thought about your words for a very long time.
Thanks for your comment.
It is quite possible that in the future I will be able to make collapsible figures, parts of which can be combined.

And now!!!
I will show the shapes that I have finalized.
The legionaries received new helmets, and the legate of the horse.
