I've added a little lighter skin tone to some of them but otherwise they are as finished last century, the same is true of the three minifigs that make up their numbers in this unit,I have had to paint their shields, that's about it.
They've been based on 120mm wide mdf bases for TtS!
Next up is a unit of Newline legionarys that came primed in white. I've gone for undyed tunics and I've invented a shield design that is close enough and good enough!
This gives me 120 points to add to my running total which brings me up to 465 and 60 points towards the Infamy Infamy side challenge (finally!)
All the best Iain
Nice work on these veteran legionaries Iain. I can remember seeing this figs advertised in Mil Mod back in the day.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter! Long ago and far away!

Wow, these are amazing! I had no idea GW did historicals back then.
ReplyDeleteExcellent work on getting these finished and ready to go, 40 years is a decent amount of time for miniatures to mature on the shelf.....
Thanks Jamie! Yes citadel historicals then became Foundry, you can still find figures credited as citadel in the Foundry back catalogue!

Romans - I love Romans! Great work!

Nice little spruce up job 👍
ReplyDeleteThanks Ken! A spruce up and a new paint job!

Great Romans. The old minis stand up well alongside the newer ones.
ReplyDeleteThanks Stuart! Yes I'm happy to field them next to the newer figures, it's why I held on to them till the Newline chaps were finished, so you could see them side by side!

Nice units Iain. Citadel were tops back then!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mike! They certainly were!

A great resurrection! They still look the part, don't they? Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks Martjin! Yes, still work I think!

Awesome job on these Romans Iain! For some strange reason (but I blame DaveD) my mind read "Roman Dromedary Riders" in your post's title... Perhaps something for the future? :-P
ReplyDeleteThanks Sander! I remember Nick's fabulous one from challenge IX? Who knows maybe? Never say never!
