Finally got the first unit of spearmen completed. Like the archers these are ex-Grenadier Miniatures models and I love the monopose effect, even with the dodgy 'legs apart' pose. The shields came out really well considering the design is just small squares of printed computer paper glued onto the shield!
The colour scheme looks good when you get a couple of units together, I think!
Next up, swordsmen from Medbury Miniatures - the only models I've ever seen that replicate the mail armour and surcoat design of these old Grenadier ones! Might be a while though, as I've got some Romans to highlight and base first - bear with me! This army is going to grow!

Yes, those look great to me! The shields turned out quite well, I wouldn’t have guessed that the sigils are printed paper. That seems like a good way to do repeated designs. Way simpler than trying to free-hand them.

The spear men look great.  Never would have known the shields were paper.

You can get a pretty similar effect with the Oathmark plastic Elves.

Nice. The shields look great as others have already mentioned - I wouldn't have thought they were glued on images.

Beautiful work on these: the basing is really eye-catching, and the decorative hems work wonders on the figures.
