Roman Legionaries - 2nd Cohort
« on: September 30, 2014, 10:34:43 PM »
Hi all,
I've just completed the third unit in my Dacian War collection, and a second cohort of legionaries.



I'm trying out different techniques and new stuff as I go with this collection, so if you would like to know more then just follow the link to JJ's

Thanks guys for your comments

Jeff, I did a bit of a "warm up" earlier in the year with a few cavalry and yes there are a lot more to come.



I'm afraid these pictures were done before I had my new daylight bulbs fitted, but it gives you an idea of the look of the unit when it's done.

Very nice offerings indeed. The armour has good contrasts and the slight variations in the colour of dress gives them a natural appearance.
