Now that's what I call an army! :o Very pretty.
What sizes are the bases?
Very, very nice 8).
They look as if they mean business. What's next? Sassanid Persians? Goths?
Those are brilliant, well done! :D
Lovely - that shield work all free hand?
Well done you!
Thanks for the kind comments guys. This is the first bit of painting I've done for a few year so it gives me a kick up the arse to do some more
QuoteWhat sizes are the bases?
Figures are based for warmaster (20mm x 40mm) although it may be a while before they are ever used in anger due to geography (I live in rural shropshire) and family (3 kids 2 of which are pre-school), ie currently I have no life :'(
QuoteThey look as if they mean business. What's next? Sassanid Persians? Goths?
Got a pile of dacians to work through to go against these guys, really like the dacian shield designs, all vines and flowers. But been distracted by Normans, Saxons and now crusaders (like most others I'm easily influenced by whats on the tv)
QuoteLovely - that shield work all free hand?
Yes all freehand, bit of a bugger to do but not as much as painting on the sandal straps
Remember Dacians can use Sarmatian allies too.
"family (3 kids 2 of which are pre-school), ie currently I have no life"
I thought that as our kids got older, I'd have more time, but the reverse seems to be true.
Being a Shropshire Exile Matt I know how you feel, there used to be a great club in Shrewsbury (or if I'm ever up seeing the folks in BC)...
or if I'm ever up seeing the folks in BC)...
BC - Bishops Castle?
That's the one! Grew up there. Spent many a drunken hour in the Three Tuns/Castle Hotel/Vaults/Six Bells...
GORGEOUS work Matt !
Cheers - Phil
Yep, nice town not far from me, used to love playing cricket there, cracking ground beautiful setting, pints in the castle hotel after (unfortunately cricket has also been put on the back burner since having kids, my significant other fails to understand that only civilised games last all afternoon, have a break inbetween for tea and cake and where post match drinks are compulsory :()
Very very nice army. Now you need an opponent army ;)
Really good job there Matt =D> I really like your minis mix on the base for the Legionnaires with swords in front and pilum in back, looks cool 8)
Now get those Dacians done. :D
Wow - these are awesome ! Really great work. I hope you'll field them one day :)
Excellent work! First 10mm you've done? :o :-bd
I can't see the pics :(
Definatly there - look good. :d

Interesting Nik....Sometimes yours truly can't see the pics unless I 'log in' properly....But not in
every case...Strange. :-/
Cheers - Phil.
QuoteExcellent work! First 10mm you've done?
Yes, I did the archers first, hence no close up shots of those. This seems to be a very forgiving scale to work with and looking forward to doing much more particularly Phil's Republican romans when they go into production, they look like they'll paint up lovely. However these little buggers took literally months, I don't get much time to paint and I'm a bit of a purist, so no drybrushing/overbrushing or magic washes. I can't do Nik's speed painting (just bonkers, really I mean I couldn't paint a stand in 1h 30mins let alone an army!).

Hi Nik. This link may work

Ah - they're there now...my machine must have been having a funny five minutes last night [or possibly its owner]
Those are top-notch Matt - really beautifully done =D> :-bd
I'm looking forward to seeing them face their opposition 8)
That army seems pretty good, congrat. Who are they regular opponents?
Fantastic stuff :-bd
