My Romans so far...
« on: March 22, 2016, 08:02:54 AM »
I've been slowly making a Marian/Caesarian legion. So far I have 10 cohorts each with 10 figures on a 120 x 60mm base. I decided on a tribune and a primus pilus for the the sub commanders. I have Balearic slingers ready to go as well as some javelins and a pair of scorpio's on the way. I'll also need a few cavalry figures and a general (I atually have a Warlords general but the figure is crap).

I really like the base size which, as you may have guessed is right for Impetus. However, I doubt that I'll use them with those rules. I just think that the base size is right.

I also have another hundred odd figures ready to make a second legion but that can wait for the time being.

Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.

These look excellent, especially on such a scale! I agree about the warlords general, have you looked at Crusader miniatures or Foundry? Either of them might be compatible.

Very nicely done! I always enjoy it when folks come up with creative basing schemes that aren't straight-jacketed by archaic rules requirements.

Cheers,
Scott

Mmmmm....
The laws of probability do not apply to my dice in wargames or to my finesses in bridge.
