BOF Studios have released a range of Roman civilian types although unfortunately not up yet properly on their site. Catalogue page is here. The figures are very nice although properly proportioned 28mm as opposed to the normal chunky types.

It is.

I also particularly like the look of the pose on the slave.
He looks suitably aggrieved and dejected at being chained.

Very well done Eric. :-* :-*

I join the party a bit too late, I think, but I must say this thread is really wonderful: beautiful conversions, and a terrific quantity of miniatures!

I am really, really loving the scratch-built inventiveness and ingenuity. I love the millstone, not because it has anything to do with a battle between armies but because it is one of those subtle details that turn the battlefield from a generic table top into the illusion of a real place.

I can't wait to see all these projects put together on a gaming table together.  :-*

thank you Richard.

little piece of terrain makes always the bill  ;)

Need time to prepare the scenarios to use with the town.

I have in mind to feature my city more in Ostia than in Rome for being original.

But i need to built some docks warehouses and some quays but who says harbour says boats !
So i'll need to scratch-build one or two roman transport boats then :?

I still have some ideas to start the boat project but actually working on "desert" tents i would to finish it first.
