Nicely done, again. You can never have too many auxilia in my opinion.

Your friend's terrain is luverly too.

What James said: Auxilia are the real Roman's legions.
Good job on the miniatures, both conversions and painting. Especially like the Celtic trumpet, adds a nice flavour. What keeps baffling me is that cuckoo clock shaped signum...

Agreed - the terrain looks awesome. Particularly those hay stacks!

Looks like their cloaks need a bit of shading? Perhaps a bit of army painter could do the trick?

I'm glad SG also picked up on the cuckoo clock ;)

Hi Consul, they do already have a little army painter soft shade on the cloaks; I suppose I could have gone a tone heavier. Might revisit.

Hi SG, the extra standard is a humourous addition; the Raetian capital became modern-day Augsberg, where the cuckoo clock was invented.

Consul, I'll mail you later about the game on Thursday.

Okay, didn't expect that twist. Nice touch. Although if the cuckoo clock was really invented in Augsburg (of which I'm not too sure), I would have reserved this for one of the Cohortes Vindelicorum. ;-)
Anyway, never mind, I'll shut up and look forward to your next unit.

Nice figs Simon and its good to see the Auxilia being in the limelight rather than those namby pamby legions.

I do love Auxilia; it is easy to imagine the different units having national characteristics, and with a bit more variety of gear.

I feel I still have a few more cohorts in me... beforee I get around to the missing cavalry.

Hi BRB, I've undercoated a group of Batavians but can't seem to find the time to start them....hopefully I will be able to join you with your Auxiliary posts. Secundus.

I thought this post from the POV of a Raetian soldier linked from the main post about the Saalburg, but it doesn't, so here it is. In case you haven't browsed those huge archives I collected ver 5 years of blogging. :)

And here's a wee bit o' fun.

Hi Gabriele, I enjoyed the Raetian piece, and the rest of your blog; which is HUGE! I thought I'd made a few posts, but nothing like yours. All interesting stuff, too.

The playmobile minis are nice, I've seen them before. IIRC there are 3 legions worth, at different museums in Germany. I wonder who dusts them all? ;-)

Thank you, BRB. I don't know how my blog grew so huge; I only realised what monster it is when I tried to reorganise the sidebar. I have too much time and way too many photos in my archives. *grin*
