I've made several references recently to my bargain buy from a fellow wargamer of over 100 Aventine Miniatures Republican Romans. One bonus quickly realised was the addition of figures to make up two new command bases. The first features one mounted and two foot figures to depict the overall General for the Allied Italian elements in the Republic's army ~
The second base features a single mounted figure. In this case now, having reviewed the organisation on the tabletop battlefield here in GHQ, the base will take on the role of the commander of the Roman wing of the army ~
I'm quietly pleased with the look of these two bases and they round off the Republican Roman army nicely for now. There will be a few additions in the new year, but they will have to wait for now at least. In the meantime a final picture showing the whole Allied Italian contribution to the Republican Roman army ~
Excellent stuff. I shall be on a wing (and a prayer) when we eventually get to game again🙂
ReplyDeleteGame? Remind me again please...☹️
DeleteLooking really good David , will be interesting to see what happens when two completely newly painted armies meet ....who runs away first ?
ReplyDeleteThat's funny Matt, I honestly hadn't thought of that at all!
DeleteThose command bases are excellent and the second figure is particularly beautiful, but that final photo is something else. All of these beautifully painted Romans arrayed on the field. Splendid, splendid painting David.
ReplyDeleteRegards, James
That is most kind of you James, many thanks.
DeleteExcellent job David!
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated Phil, thanks.
DeleteThey are looking much better having been painted up then they ever did in my lead pile
ReplyDeleteThank you David, both for the compliment and the figures!
DeleteBoth of those command bases are lovely David! Nice to see an overall shot of the Allied army too:)
ReplyDeleteThank you SteveJ, always good to feel encouraged.
DeleteGreat command bases and wing shot!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for the encouragement Gonsalvo!
DeleteSome lovely command bases there David
ReplyDeleteAnd that’s a fine looking Allied contingent... I think I prefer them to the Romans...
All the best. Aly
Thank you Aly, much appreciated. If I were to do more Romans I think I might vary the clothing colours much more. But, Romans are red it seems, at least in wargames terms.
DeleteWonderful looking command stands
ReplyDeleteThanks rross, much appreciated.
DeleteThere is never enough commanders! Fantastic job!
ReplyDeleteThat is true, you can always use another commander!
