Basosz Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Cool The shielded things at the ends... are they phalanxes? Or is that another military formation? Either way, this is very cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, this is very cool The shielded things at the ends are "testudos" (tortoises) a roman defensive/ offensive tactic..used when under enemy missile fire, for example when moving up to a fort wall or such. One of them (the blue one) comes as a build in a set, the red one i constructed myself using old figs and shields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epeeman Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Paul, Great work on these figures - I love roman history - I should have guessed your interest as well looking at your pictue of a roman cavalry helmet! I only wish you could get hold of some larger figures of romans other than 1:72. As it happens, been painting up a couple of 72 scale late roman republican cavalry in between working on my usual WW1 aircraft models - not as good as yours though! Should say I have done several of the Miniart 1:16 figures as well. Epeeman PS - never mind Spartacus - your legions should watch out for Pompy!

Thanks...you can get 54mm romans...there are a lot of individual figs available...but they are for single basing and expensive...as a set i can recommend these and there are loads and loads of 28mm roman fig makers around.

Epeeman Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Thanks, Paul - as it happens I have painted those 32nd scale late republican roman legionaries in the past (I have a few left still). What I really mean is that I find it frustrating that most roman figures are mainly 1:72. I have recently been looking at a model supplier on line ('Makemodels' or something like it) that have a fair range of 54mm (white metal) romans - will probably order one or two soon. I have built the Miniart 1:16 Roman (1st century) legionary which, for me, came out reasonably well. As far as I can tell, these are the largest figure scale for romans currently available? For note, I mainly build WW1 fighter aircraft, but enjoy doing a figure from time to time. I have on order (amougst other things) some Hat 1:72 auxliary imperial cavalry figures. My figures are not quite up to your excellent standard though! Epeeman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epeeman Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 That's all right, Paul - we can swap notes on each topic!! Look forward to seeing some more of your work Epeeman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
