Here are the two Goth Noble cavalry units who will be serving my Roman army as Fedorati.
I really enjoyed painting these and am very happy with how the pictures turned out.
I have decided to base my large barbarian units in the same was as I have my romans. That is, I will have the rear unit as half thickness, as per skirmish bases in the rules. This will save on figures - given my habit of cramming them on.
I have also modified my army list to account for some second hand figures I got hold of. I would like a second line of roman infantry but will wait until musketeer miniatures release their new Justinian range before I buy more lead.

These are really stunning Jon, Nice pics of great painted troops
Very nice! Going to be a fine army.
Very well painted and beautiful minis
Fantastic looking unit!
Your blog is such a treat - you work is gorgeous and you do such an excellent job of photographing it. Really inspiring for even non-gamers who are just into the wonder of mini historical figures.
generally speaking your figures are always very nice. I am also quite amazed by your red. How do you get such a vibrant red color?
red eh ..
The easiest way is to stick to a two-tone.
Base coat with a strong but very dark red.
Now the key to the lighter shade is to add several thin coats while being careful not to cover the shaded areas.
You can add a final highlight but it isnt so important as other colours.. That is as long as you do well on step two. Make sure you dont add to much or it will look too pink. Use flesh to lighten the red rather than white as it gives a salmon pink rather than a barbie one..
thanks a lot for that Jon
lovely job, love the command figure, you have encouyraged me to start finishing my late roman army again!!!
cheers
Matt
