Simon you are so right about the mix and match legions during the Civil War, as so many were raised to fight on both sides, that some must have looked quite shabby.

It seems to have been a trend to repaint shields with slogans and images depending on who a legion was following and when.

Thanks ACG, I think it's going to look quite something in about 2 weeks time.

Great idea. I think sometimes tabletop armies look too good. I much prefer weathered looking troops and more ad-hoc regiments like yours.

Good luck, can't wait to see the end result

Hi Simon - are you perchance thinking of Pharsalus? These guys would definitely make good Pompeians...

Not that I'm suggesting you start another monster project!

Cheers

Thanks all. I'm open to auggestions re the slogans on the shields...

Hi Paul, possibly Pharsalus, possibly Thapsus as I have a lot of Zama-surplus Numidians. ;-)

Looking a treat. The speed at which you complete your figures/units is amazing. I have 120 odd Republicans to do, which is a 6 months plus project for me.

Your blog is definitely an inspiration.

Thanks Guidowg, my secret is that I mostly buy painted or part painted minis, finish them off and base them in a cohesive way.

You certainly follow Guderian's creed of "mass not driblets"!
