My first Roman/s

[Augustus_Gaius]

i thought this would be the reply if i have 5 in one division ill have to have 5 in every division that would mean at least an extra £15 per division and for 4 divisions Thats at least £60 which of course has to be spent on other "things" cough cough *girlfriend* :p do you see my problem in getting both although i must say the "how do you sneak stuff past customs(missus) thread had inspired me so i'm afraid it's one or the other... for now

cavalry...for flexibility and aesthetics

[Augustus_Gaius]

^^ true that, really have been longing to paint some cavalry :p

Nice start again dude,,,,if thats yer first historicals for a while then you are in great shape! cheers john s

[Augustus_Gaius]

thank you very much those where just my test ones :p now that I've got new paints and brushes I've been able to paint them a lot more effectively and i've started to get some (for my painting skills ) good models, i guess painting my way through 60odd Romans i was able to learn something just got to to get them all based for HC now

[Augustus_Gaius]

right here are my finished veterans and Aquilifer:








i decided to proclaim the bloke with the bandaged head as optio oh and the flash has gotten rid of some of the facial detail

[Centurion Dan]

For better photos, turn the flash off and use a lamp positioned above and slightly in front of the models. Also use a white/lighter background as this will reflect more light back toward the camera.

My vote would be for cavalry as you can't get both then. Outflanking your opponant is always a good choice.

[Augustus_Gaius]

indeed, normally it's a quite a light room, just that damn early darkness :L

p.s. Also yes the cavalry are looking look a good option 4 units per division must be kept :L liking the look of the cavalry armed with swords!

right, got some more pictures, first up is one of the division so far, mostly completed just need to flock some bases
the centurion who will be the commander is a WIP as i can't get the face or plume right for some reason :L and the 3rd is another picture of the Aquilifer which should be better because i used a lamp (thanks for the advise centurion Dan )





(the photos look much brighter on this then they do on Photobucket for some odd reason, probably due to size )

Enjoy....
