Eastern Roman Watchtower ( Limes Arabicum )
« on: January 24, 2017, 07:39:13 PM »
Hi guys !! Here is my first late Roman terrain project ( there is a second almost finished and a tuird y alpha phase hahaha) I got a Hovels 28mm roman tower from their mile castle kit and I I "converted" it into a lonely tower in the Syrian desert ( you know, those Sassanids can be very annoying ) and made a little base :) I hope you like it !
First some wip...




And Finished!

Wow! I always found the tower a Bit odd on Hovels page, but your painting and basing really impress me. And the middle imperial romans do look as good.

Looks good, I like the dead tree on the base.  ;D

Great piece of terrain. Looks pretty "Arabian" to me.
Not a fan of the tower itself, though. It's a bit rough and lacking in detail. Still usable, of course!

May we look forward to some more 3rd century Romans?

Thank you ! Yes... I am starting an new Impetus middle imperial Roman army... I will post next week the first unit.
And you are right, the tower itself its not a piece of art, but it was pretty cheap where i bought it and i made the terrain in order to give it some lustre haha. Very soon there will be another tower in the forum, this time from Grand Manner ;)
