I didn't expect to finish my Romans before Celtic army. The basis of the army is Italeri set 6021, which is not worth recommending too much. The reason is a pose number and kind. The legionaries are captured here during throwing their pillae and there is only 2 main poses. Both of them are not of the kind we would expect to depict classical Caesar's legionaries. Although the sculpture is very good and historically accurate. Unfortunately even conversion with lowering the arms of almost half of figures will not improve overall impresion.
Much more attractive is the HaT's set of Roman auxiliary helpers that I used for my Psiloi. Models needed to knife-work, but I am happy with the effect. I couldn't decide which kind of Ps use, and I've made three bases od this kind.
Łucznicy Bliskowschodni w służbie rzymskiej | Middle-East archers in Roman service.
Procarze - może z Balearów? | Slingers (Balearian maybe?)
Oszczepnicy barbarzyńscy (Germanowie lub Iberowie) | Barbarian javelinmen (of Germanic or Iberian origin)
Sporo było malowania rzymskiej piechoty. Wśród niemal jednakowych podstawek wyróżnia się tylko ta "Generalska":
There was a lot of legionaries to paint. Among nearly identical bases there is one distinctive - the "General":
W połączeniu z pomalowanymi wcześniej legionistami, kawalerią i obozem od Stlelets, jestem w stanie wystawić kilka opcji składu armii II/49 do DBA. Brakuje mi Lekkiej Kawalerii (LH) i artylerii a Warband wypożyczać muszę z armii Celtów.
With addition of previously painted legionaries, barbarian cavalry and the camp from Strelets, I am able to provide few options of II/49 DBA army. I am lack of Light Horse and artillery. Warband must be borrowed from Celtic army.
Przykładowa 12-podstawkowa armia | Sample 12-bases army.
Do Basic Impetus mógłbym z tego wykombinować dwie podstawki legionistów i ewentualnie jedną kawalerii.
I could provide 2 bases of legionaries and maybe 1 stand of cavalry for Basic Impetus with this figures.
My II/11 Celtic army is near to finnish too. I need to finish bases and I hope to show them soon.
Piękna armia
ReplyDeleteWyglądają bardzo dobrze. Co do zestawu piechoty rzymskiej - też mnie rozczarował.
ReplyDeleteDziękuję. велики поздрав :)
DeleteNaprawdę słabe pozy żołnierzy Mariusza; zwłaszcza ta, która mogłaby nadawać się do testudo. Niemniej armia wyszła bardzo zacna.
ReplyDeleteDzięki. Mam nadzieję, że Celtowie bardziej się spodobają :)
