Hi there, I hope everyone is doing fine, I've come back to this blog after a 15 month long hiatus due to other challenges of which the current pandemic is just an additional problem to deal with.
Anyhow I'll be posting new work on here starting with a new Early Imperial Roman Army mostly using figures acquired from Aventine Miniatures. The inspiration was to copy my very first ancient army I built at school many moons ago but this time in 28mm rather than 15mm which is all I could afford as a kid.
So here is my interpretation of an Early Imperial Roman Equites or Cavalry cohort heavily armoured and ready for battle.
The figures were acquired from Aventine Miniatures over in Northern Ireland, Adam at Aventine is slowly moving stuff from his old website to a new website shop so not everything is available at the moment.
The next cohorts in this army will be a Cataphract cavalry cohort, an Auxiliary Infantry cohort, a Legionary Infantry cohort, an archer cohort and a General's command stand possibly the Roman Emperor Septimus Severus or Marcus Aurelius. I'm hoping this will be a good start to my collection. The Full army list with be presented at completion due to possible alteration in its compostion as the collection progresses.
Over the weekend I'll be finishing off some 28mm World War 2 British command figures, I'll see how it goes.
All the best and stay safe :)
Best Regards, Peter
