Balearic slingers

Watchout for your heads because here is the: ,,Numerus funditori Balearici''  The miniatures are Corvus Belli Balearic slingers.

third Legion

Legio II Germanica

The photos aren't as sharp as their sword but her she is: The ,,Legio II Germanica''

first Legion

This Legio is my first in 15mm. It represents the ,,LEGIO I GERMANICA''. The main difference between the Auxilia and the Legions in this time was the armament represented by the reinforced helm.

Next Cohort

Here she is the ,,COHOR III MATTIACORUM PEDITATA''. She is the last Cohort of the Mattiacii. Maybe I will paint another base in the same scheme to enable a battle unit(e.g. 4 stands) in the far future.

Cohors II Mattiacorum

It ist sunny today to so I photographed my ready 15mm romans. I will upload them in the next days.

As promised, here is the ,,COHORS II MATTIACORUM PEDITATA'' :

first Auxilia Cohorte finished

Here are photos of my frst finished Auxilia Cohort for DBA:
The ,,Cohors I Mattiacorum peditata''

Its the first one so the painting is quite experimental. The name is not historic but because I live next to Wiesbaden (Aquae Mattiacorum) its quite personal. If they slaughter the enemy I will give my cohorts invidual titles like ,,pia fideles'' just like an emperor :-) .

BTD EIR prototype

 

I recently have some Black Tree Design Early Imperial Romans, to extend and finish my existing Auxiliary Army.

I painted a Prototype of my Legionnaires, normally they will wear iron helmets.

 

workbench update

2 cohorts waiting for finished bases and one cohort in proquess, some 15mm celts lay around too and my long time project FoA.

Auilifier

Here are some photos of the aquilifer of the 1st cohort:

new showcase

here is my 'old' new showcase. I threw my old 50mm figures out and added some of my armies:


the upper shelve is filled by a third of my caesarian army namely the X. legion, while the 1st cohort is still in work:


the second shelve contains my barbarians:


the third shelve is conquered by my eir romans ( one auxilia unit and praetorians are not painted yet) and their impressive ballista:


the last shelve contains some caesarian reinforcements namely the numidian cav and caesarian-greek artillery:

new stuff

today ne stuff from blacktree arrived. Manly Praetorians and Auxilia they and my old eir stuff will form the new WAB2 Army. Im going to by some command.

workbench update

There are gallic cavalry and the roman artillerie waiting for paint on my workbench.
I painted a new roman cohort last week and I'm going to paint some more.

German cavalry

these mercenarys have been recruited in germania. since they fight with not against the legions they have been uniformed by a generous general. The unit with the ferocious charge and fearsome attribute is very powerful against cheap troops like bondi :evil:!!
They will support my caesarian army as well as my eir army

workbench update

some more romans

The photo is not the best, but they are up there

This morning I compared the two Caesar sculpts (one from Foundry the other 1st corps) I have to choose one as my leader for my LRR Army.

The head: The face of the foundry miniature is not well casted and looks a bit (I do not want to say it but it is the truth) hampered but the Laurel wreath looks good even its a bit too typical . The face off the 1stcorps miniature looks very Italic with a bit prominent ears and the general look is very grand seniore like.

The armour: The armour of the foundry miniature is better detailed as the armour of the 1st corps but the 1stcorps is quite well.

The cloak: The cloak looks quite good by both but the foundry is a little bit more ''deep''.

The legs: Grrr... Both miniatures have not good looking legs. The 1st corps are too big for Caesar and his horse. The Foundry legs are very thin so it looks like he would fall if he will go.

The Horse: Both Horses are very good sculpted but the foundry horse is too normal without any character. The 1stcorps Horse is not historically accurat becos it has no gallic saddle but this is a little manko for me.

Result: Both miniatures are very good sculpted and detailed. I prefer the 1stcorps miniature because it is very characterfull and do notdisplay the typicall Caesar like in Asterix.

Tribun

that little guy is my newest command of my glorious Roman force !!
