This is my final post of the Challenge. Eighteen Early Imperial Roman Medium Auxiliary Infantry from Victrix. The savvy among you will recognize that Victrix doesn't make that set. These are actually their Republican armored infantry. I cut the feathers off of the helmets and used them as is from there.
These, like the javelin men, are very nice models. There are a lot of options in the box and the faces are well detailed and unique. I think they work just fine for a unit of auxiliary infantry from somewhere in the taller parts of Europe.
These will be the Cohortes IV Gallorum. The front rank has swords, the back long spears. The set has pila in it, but I don't want my auxiliaries to have them.
This unit will augment my Warlord auxiliaries, which I'm tired of at this point. These also mark the transition from sabot bases to unit bases for this army.
This marks my final post for the Challenge for this year.
What a great post to finish with, top quality Sir.
ReplyDeleteCheers Michael. I was looking forward to painting these, so it seemed like the way to go out.
DeleteAmazing. I really like these.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nick. Victrix is doing some great things these days, as you know.
