A legion a month will definitely keep you out of trouble! It will be a great looking force on the table.

Excellent work!

Thanks for all the encouragement.  I will be putting up some work in progress shots of this next batch in a day or two after which I might be tempted to take a break from painting legionaires and do some Spanish troops as my next campaign moves will almost certainly taking me into the Iberian Peninsula and I hope my Consul will be able to 'persuade' some Spanish allies to join the Roman cause.  If not they will be useful enemies for my opponent.

Brilliant. I find that what demotivates me most about painting hordes of plastic figures is the mending and gluing part... I really can't be bothered!

I was somebody would offer a "plastic set building service":

This month has been a bit of a struggle to keep up the work rate that I had set myself, given that the summer holidays ate into my painting time.  However I have had reasonable success with Legio 2.  This time they have white tunics and red shields to contrast with Legio 1.

First up is the Command group.



The Velite showing half in close order and half in skirmish order.



The Hastati in a Close Order block.



Likewise the Princepes.



The Triarii are only half completed with the remaining 6 figures part painted.



The unpainted set. Hopefully I will get these finished this week.



I still have the cavalry to paint but at least they are primed.  Maybe next weekend?

Then I am on to the Spanish allies.

Looking good

Nice!

[Malamute]

Very impressed with your commitment to this, keep going!
