The Praetorian Guard

Seems like it's taking me longer and longer to paint things...

The Praetorians. I've gone for a purple/black/brass colour scheme which seems to work. The figure itself, if painted as mail rather than segmented armour, should work as Late Republic Legionaries - so I'll try that later.

  1. Now those came out alright, like the color scheme not too much but looks like an imperial guard unit

  2. one more thought comes to mind with these, if you painted some up in leather armor they'd make good Roman Marine stand ins

    1. I think there are a few 'paint conversion' possibilities - I'll probably start looking in the very near future.

    1. I will make no claims as to how authentic they are... comes under the 'my army so...' heading! And businesslike is certainly the effect I'm looking for.
