Aventines Day 14

Just as one unit approaches completion...

Another 5 arrive!

Life just works like that, sometimes.

I'm really delighted with the new Aventine minis Keith has sent (the principes and equites for my Italian legion, and a bunch of Volscian hillmen), which are of the same high quality (nary a hint of flash) as the last bunch, and even as neatly packed as I've ever seen! He even chucked in the newest Volscian command pack, which looks brilliant. The Volcians have a real sense of movement that one rarely sees in a 28mm mini and I'm itching to paint them; dare I squeeze a unit into my schedule?

Hi Roger, I have almost finished one unit. Already I find myself fantasizing about raising full 4 legions with 111 minis each... which would take me an unfeasiblly long time to paint. :-(

Hi Simon

It is interesting to observe of your work on painting miniatures and formation of your Roman legions. I now too am borrowed by this interesting idea - creation of the Roman army of times of Punic wars.
