Hi chaps,

Having enjoyed seeing the 6mm legions yesterday, I thought I'd post some photos of a couple of legions of Aventine Republican Romans that I'm basing. The minis were mostly painted by David Imrie and Shaun Watson. Here are some shots of progress; it's largely been about basing, repainting plumes and so forth. The plan is to have a Roman legion and an Allied legion, of around 100 each, ready for Partizan. These pics are of the Roman legion.

Hi Jim, yes these ones can out a lot bushier that the last; I'm using a longer static grass. I hope that they will match the others, sufficiently well...

those are very nice, what ruleset are they based for?

bigredbat · « **Reply #6 on:** August 03, 2014, 11:26:27 PM »

Well, the frontage is 6cm so they would work with most systems. But I use them with my own rules.

These units are a departure, most of mine are 24-strong. I see these 16-strong units as smaller "maniples".

Amazing, Simon, I'm jealous again

Looks very good

I thought about doing my project in 28mm but decided I would most likely be headed for an expensive burnout

Looking forward to seeing this in September, it's a shame it will not be in the same light conditions as the Cremona game though.

Thanks chaps!

Yes Phil I will miss the lighting in the Park at Partizan. OTOH if the rain is hammering down, it'll be a whole lot better indoors!

Too true

There are the Allied Principes for my new legions. I bought these painted; one of the two original painters is really good (and the other isn't too shabby, either). I did a little retouching and re-based them. They are Aventines, of course.
