Bruttians Completed

'ere they are in all there Bruttish glory:



This is the first of two units.  Greg Privat (who originally painted the figures; I detailed and did the shields) is painting the extra figures I need for the second unit, which is 2/3 complete.  These are all Crusader figures, and very nice ones, too.  The decision to cast the heads separately, means the plumes are great and I've not lost a single feather during assembly!

    Hi Simon, very nice indeed: they look mean and veteran, just right for the third line at Zama. You're making quick progress - how far through the project do you reckon you are now?

    Cheers
    Paul

    Thanks chaps; welcome S!

    Paul, I think we have about 75% painted and perhaps half of the remainder are with painters; the balance are the Aventine minis that aren't yet cast but should be soon. Then there's the boards that are built but need to be decorated. I've not yet told my wife that our dining room will be uninhabitable for 4 or 5 weeks while I do this...

    Thanks Phil. I was lying awake last night, however, worrying about how much remains to be done!

    Love them. Seriously great job there. This is my favourite era at the moment and these really capture the flavour.

    Revisiting this after many years before starting on my own force and just wondered which shield transfers you used for these?

    They are all LBMS - but I can't recall which sets, I'm afraid.
