A whole army of them? Why not :-D
It depends on the size of the army

I'd want 300 or so; Paul; only have 50, so far. Big gap... but I'm getting interested in the period.

Nice; love that wiered cowl they have. Seen it in period illustrations too. Best, Dean

Looks very nice to me! And 300 of them will be very impressive!

Hi Dean, the cowl is surreal, isn't it? Always struck me as a bit doubtful... as far as I know this fresco is the only evidence for them:-

Pretty, though.

Peter, I'm still 251 short of 300!

Thanks all!

In the BigRedBatCave, anything less than 300, is skirmish! ;-)

These guys look fantastic Simon. 300 would be very impressive.

300...ooh!!! that would look hyper impressive. I´m afraid you will have to crack on and get the other 251 done now :-D And some cataphracts as well...I´ve got a pic of legs looking like these by McBride,,the battle of resiana 243 AD...excellent!!

Hi Paul, it will take me yonks to paint up 300, as they aren't a high priority. But I'll try to fit in a unit every month or so. Next will be a unit of Auxilia.

Cheers, Simon

Yonks?..ok..251 to go...paint.. say..4 a day..that´s 62 days..roughly 2 months..and if you count weekends as 8 a day....about 6 weeks or less..;-D

These boys are tough to paint, Paul, and I've got other fish to fry! Will be a slow burner.
