28mm Early Imperial Roman Auxiliary Infantry Cohort

 This Auxiliary Infantry cohort will be the second Auxiliary infantry unit after the archers posted earlier. Using WRG 6th edition army lists, this unit represents 'Light Heavy Infantry' with javelins.

Figures are from 'Aventine miniatures' EIR range.

All the Roman infantry cohorts have 24  figures and 12 figures in the cavalry cohorts. Shield transfers provided by 'Littlebigman studios', I've added a dirt effect with pigments sealed with varnish.

Based on plasticard with textured filler and small rocks, earth tones were painted on the bases with grass tufts finishing them off. Base dimensions are 20mm frontage and 30mm depth give them a looser formation than the Roman legionaries.

Next will be the 2nd Legionary Cohort, then the artillery.

All the Best,

Peter.

28mm Early Imperial Roman Archers

 This will be the fourth unit completed for my Early Imperial Roman army based on a 15mm minifigs army I had at school many years ago, based to 'Wargames Research Group' 6th edition rules bases are 20mm frontage per figure and 30mm depth. Representing an Auxiliary Archer cohort in western dress, minis supplied by 'Aventine miniatures'.

 

The command stand carries a draco standard, regarding the officer I may swap out the head in the future. 

All the bows have strings made from FINE EZ Line 100 in black, this stuff stretches and is used by aircraft and ship modellers, it is a bit pricey but the advantage over normal line is it retains its shape even after being banged about on the wargames table, it also glues rapidly in its stretched state when you use super glue.

Anyhow I'm currently finishing off my Emperor's command stand and a small group of Praetorian Inner Guard.

All the Best,

Peter.
