I managed to finish the first unit of Romano-British Ordinary Shieldwall for
Dux Bellorum this morning.
The miniatures are a mix of
West Wind in the front rank and
Old Glory in the rear.
The
Old Glory miniatures (above) are slightly smaller so I had to raise them with a sliver of plasticard inbetween the slottabase and the miniature base so they looked ok with the
West Wind miniatures (below).
I wasn't too sure on whether the shields should be uniform in design or not. It does look a bit weird for Dark Ages miniatures, but it helps reinforce the Roman heritage so I went with it, painting an early Christian design on a white background (hopefully it does not look too crusaderish).
Two more units to go, before I can crack on with the cavalry...
Very well done...like the shields and the basing.
ReplyDeleteUniformity in shields may be anachronistic but it does bind the unit together, visually speaking.
ReplyDeleteGreate looking unit !
