A Late Roman Frippery

When I received the last pieces of my order from Footsore Miniatures last month for Matt's Dark Age Welsh I also found two complementary figures were included, as there had been some mix up over the shields included. I gave Phil the one warrior figure as it fitted nicely with his Romano-Britons and I kept the female civilian for myself as I had an idea for a small vignette to liven up the tabletop battlefield! While plodding on with the French Garde Voltiguers for my Crimean War project I have also been working on the two figures for this vignette ~

The female figure is from their Gangs of Rome range and depicts a fishwife while the bored looking sentry was left over from my latest Late Roman Legion and is a venerable Wargames Foundry figure. The two figures seem to compliment each other nicely in both size and style to my eye. The sentry's shield transfers is from LBMS, you might remember them! The small base is from Warbases as ever. While it won't win any prizes I'm quietly pleased with how it looks on the tabletop battlefield, and as an added bonus it has reduced the Lead Pimple by two figures!!!!
