Easter Romans

Just finishing up a 4-day Easter Holiday weekend. It was a perfect opportunity to finally finish off the Roman army for this year's Mayday convention scenario of Command & Colors: Ancients.

Here is the completed Roman army for the Battle of Sotium. The army is composed of three legions.


Each legion has two elements of medium infantry...the core of legionaries we most often think about when we conjure an image of Imperial Roman soldiers.


Each legion also has one element of Auxilia.


And an element of medium cavalry.


Along with an element of light infantry...in this case, conscripted Gallic javelineers (I really don't like these particular figures from Warlord).


The army also possesses an element of artillery.


Well, that's the whole thing, and I can finally put this project to bed...and get back to Cryx!

'Til next time.

  4. Mork,

    Each fig is on a 1" metal square. Underneath each cluster of four figs is a 1/8" balsa square covered with magnetic sheet. The fig bases are magnetically attached to that.

  7. Bob,
    Only if you have strong opinions, and don't think like they do...
