Aventine shields on Foundry Legionaries
« on: May 07, 2012, 11:02:44 PM »
Has anyone tried this? Presumably we assume some variation in scuta size?

I have also been thinking about shields and found that both Warlord and Lancashire has embossed Roman scutums. Rather nice as a change to fiddling with transfers  ;)

I think that the Aventine shields are nice, but suit a larger mini that the Perry Foundry (maybe would work with BTD, for example).

Thanks all.

Can anyone comment upon whether historically there was variation from unit to unit or if they were all made to a specified size?

Having different sizes of scuta wouldn't be wrong. They have varied sizes.
