Congratulations, I follow your blog since a while and is very enjoyable. I'm also currently building up a republican roman army and your work is very inspirational.
Posting some photos would be great, however I have not own blog yet. I just send Keith from Aventine Miniatures some pictures and he kindly publish them in his web. Coming back about the blog I don't know if I would have enough time to keep it updated regularly.
I was thinking about the white ones with the wolf but i plan to use the red transfers with the roman she wolf (http://www.aventineminiatures.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=26&products_id=143 ) for the legionaries scutum so finally i opted for the red ones. And i must admit they look great too.
Well done your blog is a wealth of ideas and inspiration. Keep up the great work!

I'd very much like to thank all the people who have visited this site since last March, and who yesterday took my page load numbers past 100,000 hits, with just over 51,000 unique visits. I've hugely enjoyed your feedback and comments, and hope to meet some of you in person at Bletchley and Salute. Here's an old pic of some happy Germanic cavalry, in celebration.

In other news, I played my first game of Flames of War last night with some local gamers from Dark Nights and Bloody Dawns in Wood Green. It was very enjoyable; how did I manage to completely miss FoW until now? The 15mm WW2 figures were both numerous and beautifully painted, and I'd very much like to use them again. We used Western Desert minis, and I will hopefully show DNBD how a Memoir '44 Western Desert game would compare. Might even try their minis on a big hex grid.
Finally, I will be starting board 7 for Zama, today. Joy.

What transfers did you use on the velites parma, please? They look very useful.

Thanks for the compliments. For the parma shields I just used LBMS transfers. Follow the link and you will reach the transfers:

The red wolf ones are nice... but I think I'll stick with white for my first two legions.
I'd not noticed that VVV transfer; will be handy! Thanks.
