Hi there,
I'm new on this forum and I'm not a native English speaker, so please be indulgent with my language.
I was really enthusiastic to paint two armies from late roman pendraken range.  The aim of this huge project was to recreate the conflict occurring in current France, the late Gallo-roman territory during the late IV and the beginning of V centuries.
This period is really fascinating for wargamers as several usurpers tried (or succeed) to defeat the imperial authorities of West Roman empire (Constantin III with the legions from Britain, Jovin, Maxime, Sebastianus etc..)

So I decided to build up two forces in this area.  :P

An imperial army from Italia:
- 4 auxilia palatinae
- 3 comitatens
- 3  palatinae
- 2 cataphractarii
- 2 clibanarii sagitarii
- 5 sagitarii
- 2 equites scutarii
- 2 equites scholae palatinae
- 1 equites promoti
- 1 equites dalmatae

The heteroclite army of an usurper
- 5 pseudocomitatens
- 3 limitanei
- 4 germanic warbands
- 3 excultatores
- 3 funditores
- 2 sagitarii
- 3 equites scutarii
- 2 equites promoti  
- 4 cataphractarii
- 2 hunnic  light cavalry
- 1 heavy lancers (sarmato-alains or taifale)

Lister: "Oh God, aliens... Your explanation for anything slightly peculiar is aliens, isn't it?

Rimmer: "Well, we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did?"

Lister: "Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll?"

Welcome

Your collection is superb

As others have asked what rules are you using?
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Welcome. Fantastic looking armies, great to see lots of the late roman figures on the table.

I'm guessing you might be playing Impetus, due to the bases, but I'm not sure.
