My god man, where do you ever find the time nad its not as though you slap the paint on either as they look brilliant. I do like these figures..........maybe I'll just watch your army grow and dream a while. Cheers.
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!! Cheers paul
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.

I mean, I just love this A&A range, but they take so long to paint! Twice as long as an EIR. It's the pteurges, and the edges around the armour. Look good though... but will I ever complete an army of them?
A quick WIP shot of the A&A Middle Imperials that have been on my painting tray for around a month; ready to base. I painted half, the rest (the better ones!) came from a lucky eBay purchase from the US. Various command figures are coming on, in the background. Watch this space...

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.

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