A few weeks ago Nick Speller sent me back 48 Caesarian Romans I'd posted to him back in the summer; he's done a lovely job on them. I mix unarmoured and armoured minis, mount them irregularly on 60x30 bases, and use them as poorer quality legionaries, such as the Pompeians raised. Here are some I prepared earlier.
I've temporarily mounted these so that I can paint the bases, varnish and add shields.
I was planning to mix these with some figures Nick has painted before, to build 6 24-man cohorts. However, I found myself going through my other units, and have worked out that if I cannibalise four smaller existing units and ask Nick to paint another 32 figures, I could put together an entire 240-man legion. So this will need to be done... a package is winging its way to Essex and I've started retouching 16 figures in the background.
