Here's the first unit for my Strength and Honour early Imperial Roman army, Legio I Adiutrix of Trajan's Parthian campaign c115-117AD. It was a doddle to paint and only took about an hour, drying time not included, to do the cohort blocks and the base. I was going for an arid semi-desert look as the campaign was fought over what is now Armenia, Syria and Iraq I'm quite pleased with the end result, so I'm going to crack on with two more legion bases and two auxiliary cohors quingenaria bases tomorrow, using different colours for the shields so that they can be identified on the battlefield.
Hello there Jim,
ReplyDeleteI am really excited about this rule set and love the idea of the legion bases. I am also looking forward to seeing how you tackle Parthian Cataphracts!
All the best,

I'm hoping they won't be too tricky..it's the light cavalry I'm bothered about!
ReplyDeleteHi Jim,
DeletePainting headbands in that scale will be a challenge - even for you!
