Late Romans

hello again,

So here we have some late romans. Both Sagittarii (archers) and Lanciarii (javlin/skirmishers).

The bows are now all strung. 24 in total. Wasnt that bad at all. I used superglue to hold the the arrow and string in place. I then added a dab of epoxy glue onto the joints for strength. Using two pieces makes it much easier that trying to bend a single piece.

Anwayways, heres is the list I plan to use for me impetus army.

Avg cmd structure
1xAvg Commander
3x re-rolls
2x cataphractarii
6x comitantes
4 x supporting sagatarri
3x lanciarii

305 points plus ...

1x poor commander
2x visigoth heavy noble cavalry
2x large warrior units

94 points.

This will of course give me a 400 point army that I can expand into two matching armies. Eastern romans vs goths.

Interestingly musketeer miniatures are branching out into justinian romans which is what I think ill be basing mine on. Bill did some sculpting over new year and will be releasing in march. His goths and saxons will make excellent fedoratti.

Excellent as ever.

The strings do work very well on the bows - I stand corrected.

Some really good looking units and very good paint job.

Overall ...9/10!

Beautiful minis. I'm lately not very active in ancients because I haven't found a satisfactory rules set... but looking at your blog I have second thoughts always.

Superb, the bow strings work really well and add to the look of the unit.
Nice!
