Richard, very nice.  Are these archers from A&A? I never went with A&A as I didn't like what I saw in the photos on the website but these look fine. If they are A&A how do they fit size-wise with Foundry?  I think A&A are a much forgotten range now but I love their 3rd century Roman and Palmyran figures.

... I might get some of these ( plus other stuff) before Aventine packs up next year.
Yes these are very nicely painted but I'm still reeling from you noting that Aventine is going to stop producing next year. Didn't know that. I've just checked their FB and it's true: Sep 2025 and it's over. Disaster.

Really nice work! As an aside, I likewise had no idea that Aventine is shutting down next year, glad I got a heads up somehow! They've been a real pillar in this community, hope they do okay wherever they take their lives next.

Those archers are A&A and they cleaned up and painted easily.  I don't have any Foundry figures with me at the moment but will go to the basement and find some unpainted out over the next few days and put a comparison photo up. 

I am thinking it is very likely that I will be getting an A&A 3rd centiry Roman army soon.  And I had been looking at the Palmyrans also.

Thanks to everyone for the positive feedback.

Richard
