A slight deviation - 15mm Romans!!!
Every now and then I need a little break from the 15mm scifi, and last week I was possessed by the urge to finish of some old Romans that I've had for a very, very long time. I mean at least 20 years I've had these and they never got finished, and now they are, hand painted shields included! These are from Warrior Miniatures, who were a local company from Glasgow and were, and still are, really cheap little figures. They're a bit rough by modern standard ,but as nobody else I know makes 15mm testudo's, they're best around. Oh, and the Centurian is from Essex...

Very nice. Like the Optio at the back keeping them in place.
Nice painting!
Neat. I expect the testudo was one of the inventions that allowed a bunch of salary soldiers to routinely rout well-armed, brave, motivated barbarian warriors. Kind of like a modular tank if you think about it that way. Also a good example of "hang together, or hang separately" ;)
Anyway, nice job, the ranks of brightly coloured patterned shields are really eye catching.
