I'm starting this to hopefully help keep me motivated and on track to finish.

This is my first 10mm project, it's just like the title describes, one Early Imperial Roman army and one Ancient British army. I'm currently planning on using 60mm frontages and using them with DBA 3.

Before starting this project I would prep, prime and paint a single unit at a time. This time I've desided to approach it differently. I've spent the last three weeks prepping and cleaning the Roman army. This morning I've finished priming them, and tonight I finally get to start painting  :)

I'll be posting pics as I go and hopefully it shouldn't take to long to finish.

I hope you'll have fun modelling some of the zany (or at least unusual) elements in the Claudian army. Look forward to seeing 'em.

Hopefully you will save some time especially with preping everything first.  (It does get boring but is worth it in the long run I have found.)

Looking forward to seeing the results.

One of my future plans, also using 6omm frontage but with Impetus.

I've got a stack of Romans on the heap; be nice to see someone else's  ;)
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

Not my era, but will be interested how this turns out.

Oof!  I hate the prep work on large numbers of models.  Kudos to you for getting stuck in with that.

Looking forward to seeing the finished models!

I bought some second hands minis from another 10mm caster.

I've managed to paint and base 2 chariots so far on 40mm x 40mm base.

I made all the missing leather reins with metal sheat, resculpted the position of the drivers...I'm mad.

So, my Celt/Britton project is now in a stall.

I've got a 10mm Roman army -I say army, it's actually 4 cohorts of legionnaires, 2 of auxiliaries and both units of cavalry- all painted and a Pendraken Ancient Britsh battlepack mostly unpainted, so this is of interest to me as well. All of mine are on 60 x 40 with 3 bases to a cohort so there are nearly 50 legionnaires in each. Looks impressive and I will probably use Impetus when they are all done.
Keep us posted.

I'll say it Sub, before anyone else says it harshly. The Romans had legionaries and the French have legionnaires.

Barbarian, are you aware that the English word "stall" can have two meanings - to grind to a halt, or as a stable-box for a horse? You could mean either here.  ;)
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.
