Mid - Imperial Roman Army - a first look

Even if I finished them in September i have only now the moment to post a couple of photos of my Trajan Romans.

The table and the scenario are not the best possible but my club is still loking for a new location and so I was forced to use my home table.

The army is a mix of A&A and Warlord 28mm miniatures and it is composed by 10 cohorts, artillery, 2 auxiliary alee, archers and cavalry (light and heavy). 

I deployed them in triplex acies with cavalry and auxiliaries as the wings

I took some picts to the cohorts and their command groups

Archers are a mix of western and eastern men

In the future I'll increase the artillery probably with a couple of new scorpions but for the moment I think that it is sufficient ... (in particular my wife!)

The skirmish units are Balearic slingers even if I painted them with late imperial color schemes ... I'm sorry but the warlord miniatures are very nice and considering that my next project is a late imperial army I could not resist. 

Finally a mix of photos with a part of high commands

Imperial Roman Army - Wip

I started to paint an Imperial Roman army. The idea is to create ten cohorts, some unit of artilleries and two alee of cavalry. 

Miniatures are mainly Warlord  and Armorum & Aquila. For the moment I finished two units of six bases each, some commanders and skirmishers.

Other two pictures with more details. Each cohort has a command group and a different shield pattern.

 

 

Some pictures of the commanders (centurions, tribunes, signifers) that I've just completed

And other pictures of skirmishers ... Balearic slingers

a contubernium of Cretan archers

and another contubernium of western archers

a wip of the first five cohort command groups

All cohorts will count four bases (16 models) except for the first one that will have double ranks.

Projects and year end

At the beginning of previous year I decided to start two projects:  a late imperial roman army (in 15 mm) and some miniatures for French-Indian wars.

I finished the Roman army in March, in time for Dbmm Turin tournament even if unfortunately I could not take part to it.

I'm continuing to paint La Sarre Regiment but I haven't finished yet. At the moment I finished a group of courriers de bois and the great part of the Indians but I had to postpone them for some other projects partially due to next year club events. 

Furthermore in the last months my "painting productions" has seen a drastically reduction due to my work.

During last Turin GT14 I took some pictures of my miniaturs 

A couple of courriers de bois involved in a hunting party ...

... some images of Second Batavian Cohort ...

... and finally the army I have to finish: SAGA milites christi
