Title: Third Century Romans/Palmyrans
Post by: Davekon on 04 July 2023, 02:45:24 PM
Would love to see some third century romans some time in the future. Everybody and their mother has done regular late romans and early imperial romans both in 3d print and metal. But none has done any 3rd century. Mail coif and rectangular scutum, niederbieber helmets, niedermörmter helmets and Romans with lorica segmentata and rounded shields.

This era has a gap in almost all scales except 15mm and Rome was in almost constant civil war for 50 years, would be excellent to see it more represented.

A&A do a lovely range in 28mm - both Eastern Roman (with the scale or mail coifs) and Western Romans (with mail shirts or lorica), with Oval or Rectangular shields, and both can have the sword arm armour and they do lovely cavalry and possibly the best camels in 28mm on the market in any ancient army. They also do the Legionaries with the anti-cataphract clubs and Lanciarii. Nice.  :)

I thoroughly recommend them:  https://www.aandaminiatures.co.uk/

Having them in 10mm would also be nice - as they are a favorite of mine as well.
Cheers

Had forgotten about the excellent miniatures made by A&A. Still, would be really great to have some in 10mm for that mass effect. Anti cataphract legionaries are also something that seems to be missing from 10mm ranges. :)

Anyways, will have to try to do some conversions in the meantime to try to sate that Palmyrene/Third century hunger.
