I was never keen on the size of warlord's original Roman Legionaries, they looked small compared to all my other figures. Thanks for that photo, they are similar in size to the auxilia, that's great I am going to order some these.

My Roman Legion Project is now nearing completion of the main combat units. Like many projects it will probably never really end as there will always be something to add especially as this a multi-purpose project for historical and fantasy role play, skirmish, battle and campaign games. So from time to time I will be adding characters, civilians, terrain and more.

This unit is mixed foot archer and horse archer unit that served on the Rhine frontier.
The cavalry element of Auxiliary Cohors I Flavia Damascenorum Equitata Eques. The cavalry are vintage Wrgames Factory the foot are Warlord Games.

and the foot element of Auxiliary Cohors I Flavia Damascenorum Equitata Pedes.


This final Auxiliary unit for my collection that served on Antonine's Wall Cohors II Equitata Thracum - another mixed cavalry and infantry unit of the type common on frontiers.  The cavalry are vintage Wrgames Factory the foot are Warlord Games.



and its commanding Prefect (Praefectus) - yes I know he is in archaic Greek armour and will wear it until I can find a more suitable figure ideally both mounted and dismounted.


Finally a couple of Capsarii (medics) for my Auxiliaries
