3rd Century AD Roman Commanders

What would be a force, or battlegroup (I hate the use of the word army for a handful of miniatures), without its commanders? Looking back in time, reminiscing on my astounding track record of glorious defeats the answer would, in my case, certainly be „better off“.

In games of Midgard by Reisswitz Press (and many other rulesets) the use of commanders on the table top is critical to how your troops function on the table. They're based separately and might roam the battlefield freely in order to perform their mighty deeds without being attached to a specific unit, but only able to influence their assigned units. Thus they're the perfect opportunity to create little vignettes. 

Figures as usual are a mix of Victrix Miniatures, partially converted with heads from Aventine Miniatures and Armorum & Aquila Miniatures. Shields are hand painted as usual and the figures were photographed in front of a Handiwork Games backdrop.

3rd Century AD Roman Auxiliaries

And on it goes with my Middle Imperial Romans. I can't remember when the last time was I had so much fun with a project. Though truth be told I'm by now rather looking forward to also paint some opponents for these fellas. For today though I've got two bases of lightly armoured Auxiliaries. Figures are a mix again of Victrix Miniatures and Footsore Miniatures, both converted with suitable metal heads by Aventine Miniatures and interspersed with a few Armorum & Aquila Miniatures. Shields are all hand painted as is the case with all the others throughout this project.
