Thank Ragnar

If you make to Berwick over the next few months should be on the table there:)
Bigredbat, The primer is Black then Grey to begin shading, its subtle but it adds a depth to the colors i find. So its a two stage process, and yeah the Shields and Spears work perfectly.
Ive been looking at different wars I could potentially use this collection in and the 1st and 2nd Greek Punic Wars are an option, which means I can also look to build an army of early Carthaginians. The more I read the more options there are, It really is an awesome period.
