I needed 2 of the 3 Scorpiones for my greek Army, this gave me a few spare Roman crewmen. I showed one of those conversions in a different thread...he was converted into a Centurion.
I have finished painting all 6 of the figures....3 actual crew and 3 are being used as local protection for the various ballista/Tormenta......one is an Optio, one a Centurion and one Legionary. I have used spare Veteren shields and will make some decals/transfers for these...they will be green wreaths like my auxiliary cavalry shield blazons.
Anyway here are the pictures, hope you like, i went for what i think would be a more realistic colour for their tunics....a natural off white colour, I think most roman troops of all types would likely look like this. Red would soon go pink after all!!!!!...........I thought about this the other day, Spartans did use red cloaks.....but clearly after several washes they would go pink..........it was only recently that blue for boys, pink for girls was adopted.......it used to be Pink for boys..................perhaps because of faded spartan cloaks?....that's something to ponder at least.......
When the whole thing comes together its going to be awsome BD!
