Lovely cavalry.  Can't wait to start seeing Romans!

Beautiful cavalry. I love the scenes of them riding through the landscape.
a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.

thanks for the kind comments, guys :)

some progress on the Romans, Titus Salvius Flaccus, the centurion of the Second Century, of the Fourth Cohort, of the XVII Legion joined the party.

Yay, centurions to the front! Lovely paintjob on a (at least to my quirky taste) great model. :)

Still waiting though for someone producing figures clad in that awkward organic armour that features so prominently in recent publications on the Roman army topic. Otherwise, one could just cover the mail with green stuff. Well, just thinking aloud. ;)

Blimey, the German cavalry are superb!  I do love the Copplestone Caesarian range.  Will follow developments with great interest...

Just an example from Graham Sumner's work (see e.g. his "Roman Military Dress").



 Add to that Raffaele d'Amato (who's gone over the top for my taste), and there's the revival of leather armour and the likes.

thank you! Indeed, with some green stuff it should be possible to make.

Another bunch arrived on my workbench, my recent ebay purchase, the Gauls (thanks to Bugsda for the hint!). 12 of them. As soon as I have finished some more of the legionaries, they will be in for painting.



though it looks like the Gauls had better and bigger horses than the Germans, here is a comparison picture, both horses are Foundry, but the horse of the German guy looks a bit less well-fed..

No, I decided to pay the bills instead...  lol
I've got a very specific wish list and until now i managed to keep to it.
Do you think the hornblower is a Copplestone sculpt or a later addition to the range?
