15mm Romans Part 3 - Onager and Crew

After a week in Rome I had to get some more of my Roman army painted. To add to the Essex and Corvus Belli miniatures I already had I ordered some more from other companies; Lancaster, Donnington and Freicorps (from QRF).

The Donnington figures are a bit large to match those I already have but their artillery pieces are the best I've seen. Here's an Onager and crew from Donnington. The figures are great, if a little large, but I did find the tunic to be a little short, almost miniskirt length.

These are available from Donnington Miniatures here.

15mm Romans Part 2

I'm now working on two projects at the same time, 15mm Scifi plus 15mm Romans. I may have to do some time travelling scifi figures so I can tie these themes together and justify the Romans place on this blog. Anybody seen a 15mm scale police box miniature?

First up for the Romans is a command base with Legate, Tribune, Aquilifer and Imagifier. The Legate is from Essex and the rest are from Corvus Belli...

Next is a Ballista, not sure about the maker of the Ballista but the crew are Essex...

All are mounted on bases from warbases.co.uk



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...
