| For light infantry I'm just doing 12 figures per unit - a 24 strong cohort is just too much! |
 |
| Admit to liking the figure even allowing for the historical inaccuracies! |
 |
| Obviously a velite and so should be part of a legion - except legions in 60AD aren't supposed to have integral light infantry. |
 |
| From their armament I'm not sure they should be based as light infantry. Later on I might do a full 24 figure auxiliary unit of them as 4Ax. They're already historically inaccurate, might as well take it a step further. |
Inaccurate or not, they are a cracking little figure and the colour scheme looks great, the red tunic really makes the miniature "pop". They would look impressive as a 24 man unit, worth doing I would say.
ReplyDeleteThink I might. I prefer this figure to the rather stiff RE14B.
DeleteAnother classic figure there Rob…
ReplyDeleteI only had one or two of those when I was a lad…
All the best. Aly
Never had a Roman army apart from Airfix - always preferred Greeks and Romans. Besides, buying Romans would probably have ended my friendship with Pete Harris...
