As of today I can report that the Imperial Roman legion
under the command of Ericus Shedicus has now been fully assembled. These brave
chaps will now be resting over the winter months before initiating their
campaign in the province of Britannia in the early spring.
Its taken 3 months to put this lot together!

Twenty five units complete and ready to fight.
Up first we have three units of Roman Auxilliary Cavalry
(Victrix). These are all slightly different thanks to different shield designs
and tunic colours (red, white, blue)
Supporting the horse march 5 units of Auxilliary infantry
(Warlord Games). Again each unit is differentiated by tunic and shield colour
(yellow, white, green, dark blue, light blue). Command stands have come from
excess Praetorian sprues I had to hand.
The Auxilliary contingent is finally made up of five archer
units (Warlord, Black Tree & Aventine) – the Eastern chaps have white
coats, the western green.
Marching behind the irregulars are our first Romans, a
cohort of Roman marines (warlord). Resplendent in their blue tunics and
hexagonal shields (spares from the Victrix Horse)
Finally the army has drawn upon resources from the emperor
himself with a large cohort of Praetorian Guard (warlord Games)
Wow! Very impressive army! Well done.

ReplyDeleteCheers Matt -
DeleteDid you double the size of the first cohort? You can also gain some variety for the auxiliaries by varying shield type and by giving them long spears. All in all this is a most accomplished grouping of figures. Well done!
ReplyDeleteHi CC - yup first cohort 10 stands as opposed to standard 5.
DeleteWhat a corking looking army. Very colourful with all those shields fab work!
ReplyDeleteVery impressive, reminds of when I was younger except my Romans came from Airfix.
