Legionaries

[Grignak]

Well the bases are just quickly-made too : sand glued to them, not even painted (usually I'd make at least a wash then a dry-brush), just "dipped" with the mini, then, after the varnish spray, I apply a few patches of PVA and stuff static grass on them (whick looks glossy here because of the flash).

I don't know how it looked back in those days around Hadrian's wall. When I visited a fort there a few years ago, the grass did look like a putting green, thanks to the sheep. Well except that on a putting green you don't see those brown pebbles

[Aradyon]

Well, my point about the putting green effect is that generally, legionnaires would have engaged out of their forts and in the country. It might be a plain, but a plain doesn't have perfectly even grass. Besides, I have never known a sheep to do a good job at lawn mowing as you get short grass and the ground becomes wrinkled and dimpled as though it is trying to twist your ankle.

Those are darned fine looking auxilliaries there Grignak. Well done. Do you have a large force of them or just the small contingent above?

[Grignak]

@Aradyion : I'll trust you on that. The only thing I know about sheep is how to eat it :p

@Little Odo : Thanks ;) All I have are there. I've just a small 1.000 pts WAB army for now. These ten (11 with the musician) and the 10 archers visible on the previous page. And 5 cavalry to come.
