You said 120 miniatures in your collection?

wow...

Just keep them coming

Excelent work and ideas Mark.

The veteran legionaires as bodyguards results very well and the painting is top class.

Hello all

Now you see why i´ve asked for color pics?
I was falling in the same error.

Great job.

I have tended to use whites, creams, browns, greys, yellows, light green and orangey russet colours for my plebs. Most of these I have tried to make more dull rather than rich bright colours. I've used brighter greens, blues and reds on my equites and patricians as well as rich merchants. For the candidates and senate members their tunics and togas get an extra white additional highlight of white!

A six point SAGA mob. Two points of gladiator bodyguard, another point of veteran legionaries as a bodyguard, two points of thugs and a point of great unwashed. All led by Milo the gang leader.

I'm really liking them!  What the textured surface that you are using, please?

[Mark Backhouse]

Another six point mob. This time led by Clodius. Two points of bodyguards, one of gladiator bodyguard. Two more points of thugs and another point of great unwashed.

Thanks Simon. The board is 6mm mdf covered in wall paper that is textured a bit like cobbles and various round and squarish pieces of card. All painted dark grey and dry-brushed up in lighter shades.

I'm really liking both mobs, Mark!

Hello all

Well done Mark.
Excelent tips for my gang forces for SAGA.
One is complete, the other still has some bits to had. I have to make two to convince my older brother to game with me so everything must be doubled.
The painting tips are also very usefull.


Cheers

Lucretia and her ladies have been overcharging again.

Hi Rui,
It sounds like you are doing well. We started off with four point mobs with about 25 figures per side but it will play with less. About 17 per side is a minimum for a half decent game. I plan to do a Roman military battle board to represent the troops used by Pompey to quell the troubles. I'm intending on making these a bit smaller in number. I've another 24 odd great unwashed on the painting table too.
