7 AD - somewhere in Germania (upd. 14.06.15 - more Germans)

They look just great and ready to crack some heads! Well done!

Those Germanen look fantastic. They do not have this clean look some of your miniatures have. I like this better.

Thanks to all for the kind comments!

Don't worry, Alex, maybe Caesar got it a a bit too black and white there: "Well, we came to this unbelievably big river, and beyond that there's dwelling a totally different kind of people, really not worth the effort, very much like those barbarous Brits. In turn, did I tell you how beautifully civilised those Gauls are I just conquered?"

Excellent additions, anyway. I take it, there's still hope for a continuation of this marvellous project?

Thanks and yes, for sure. Never gave up this, just had to take care of other projects and things. Some legionaries with pilum are painted already and will be appearing here soon, too. You all actually have seen some officers in the APC thread, I’m surely going to post them here, quasi for recording purposes.

I’m still struggling with the main idea of project, being unsure about the further direction of it. At the beginning bearing the idea of a small adventure I’m in the meantime often thinking about bigger warbands. Not quite the usual pitched battle format providing hundreds of minis (rectangular bases - no go for me) but perhaps something with several dozens. In this case I’ will still be able to play small scenarios and additionally to fight medium scaled battles.

Great to see the new additions, it's because of them this topic jumped on my radar!

Lovely paint jobs on everything 

Any news on the terrain side of things?

For the terrain I’ve got some houses for the German village (Lt.Hazel built them for me, thanks!), they just have to be painted yet. The Roman villa is bought, too, but still needs some painting. Mentioning terrain is a good point, too often my projects haven’t been completed due to lack of terrain and finally to lack of time to making it. So driving into direction based on  aspect of gaming battles I still would be able to play without having all the shiny buildings I would like to have.

You know, Just trying to steer a middle course

Thanks, Björn, yes, that's the long-time influence of Doc and Lieutenant and of course the GW inks I've bought

Just to update that dusty thread, the group shot of the newly painted Germans:

posting them again as they are that good 

[Prof.Witchheimer]

Another group shot of the models made within recent months on several occasions, my Caesarian or just late Republican Romans, miniatures are all by Wargames Foundry. Still a long way to go for this topic but it’s a good feeling to get some shapes of that meanwhile long-time project. The character models are all already been shown but the legionaries are new, though really quite a bit of a quick painting.

[Mad Doc Morris]

Awesome, Alex! You really should hand these over to Hazel and me so that our original Tactica project can yet come true.

[Prof.Witchheimer]

continuing the late Republican topic I have another Roman legionary today. This time a bit of a test trying to give them a blue tunic. Now I think blue works quite well, so I surely will be getting back to this one again in the future as for some sort of Roman marines. And yes, I will be thinking about other shield design in the case I am really going to do this Marine thing. Also you surely noticed, Lucius has blond hair . No idea how many real Romans were blond (?) but this quy is supposed to have some German ancestors, former slaves.
