Roman around in The Vault

        Recently a friend of mine asked if I might have a few figures that would double for Roman Auxiliaries, certain that there were some stashed in the bowels of The Vault I started mining through the Mountain of Shame. After thirty dusty minutes I had found the two boxes of miniatures that were squirreled away in the back corner behind the piles of crated ammo. Along they way I finally found the box that contains my collection of (as yet) unpainted elephants and I stumbled into several trays of partially painted minis. The cobwebbed recesses of my memory could not bring to mind why I had set these aside in their unfinished state and, having nothing on my painting bench at the moment I decided to put brush to them and finish the job.

 

the Gauls will be the next group to go under the brush

 

 

when I found these poor lads all they were wearing was primer and steel

I quickly added flesh and red

 

being pretty basic figures (and all dressed alike) they went rather quickly

 

then I had to sort out how to arrange them on Midgard bases

 

 

the best part was the lovely waterslide decals

 

while the shields were drying I glued the minis to their bases

 

then they got the usual basing procedure

 

for old Warlord minis they aren't too bad

I particularly like the Centurion

       Now, if I can avoid any further distractions, I will endeavor the return to the painting bench and get the Gauls sorted out.
