I finished up my principes for a game of Triumph! this Saturday. I should be able to get them some bases by then too. I need to start figuring out what I'm going to do for all their shields. I'll probably track down some design and make decals for them.

These Roman Extraordinarii kind of came along for the ride as I was working on the Principes. They just needed a bit more work that I completed tonight. I also finished up the bases for them and the Principes too.

I spent this week cleaning, priming and glueing shields on the Triarii, Principes and Extraordinarii. I also painted up the Triarii's shields. I glazed one in the recesses to tone down the shading, not sure if I like it yet. Thoughts? I don't know why I spent so much time on the figures, the shields cover 80% of the detail.

Thanks Rod.

Work continues on the shields. I finished them for the Principes and Extraordinarii this week. On to the Hastati next.

The Hastatus shields are done as of tonight. I've got four bases of cavalry to do next, then everything needs some top coats and basing.

Thanks Dale, glad you like them.

The cavalry conversions got finished up this week, and they got primed and based as well.

I also had this Cretan leader type hanging around so I painted him up too. Not sure what he's going to be used for yet.

I've been working on the Roman cavalry these past weeks and finished up the Equites (aside for the shields) tonight.
