Certainly these figures do have a certain charm. They remind me of the goons in the flash Gordon movie. Something almost sci-fi-camp about those helmets.
The figures themselves are a bit big and clumsy looking. Having said that they do have character and paint up ok. Some of the faces are a wee bit deformed though that may be moulding issues.
They would also be ideal for fighting the early pagan goths. I'm still musing over which barbarians I like best and early goths are the front runners.
Next up should be late romans. Only problem is the infamous BTD still haven't delivered. Going by some bloggers I could be waiting for up to three years. Seriously ..

Awesome looking unit. I had some A&A Macedonians and they had that heavy infantry look for sure. The shield designs are so eye-catching. Regards, Dean
Yes they look great! I have always aspired to a unit or two of those, myself. One day...
I met Adam who sculpted them last year, a very nice chap.
They look INCREDIBLE!!! I have never seen any roman models with the scale head protection...only a picture in an Osprey book to do with the battle of Resiana. As always..you have done an satounding paint job...

Very, very nice work.
Great stuff! Are you doing any more?
I'm now working on an Impetus army list for my 3rd Century Romans.
cant really decide :P
May well do but might take a break from the romans for a bit.
