They work really well Dan, well thought out. Brilliant.

Wow! Very dynamic!

Thanks - I wanted to add a bit of variety and movement to the century.

Is that a metal pilum?!

Yes it is. It's a spare from the Legionary Slingers.

I guess I need to go back to the web store and see if they are selling metal pila.....

The arm and pila came as one complete piece. I had to trim the upper part of the arm in order to get it to fit properly.
Theres enough pila and sling arms (as well as sword arms) to equip more than 2 conturbiniums.

Ah...gotcha.... I thought you had taken a metal pilum and glued it to the arm.

[Centurion Dan]

Ah...gotcha.... I thought you had taken a metal pilum and glued it to the arm.

No worries! It would be great if WG did produce some spare pilums though.......................

you do get spare plastic pilum on the legionaires and vets sprue. Not sure if they are available in metal but wouldn't they bend too easily? (compared to plastic)
