Hi David, they are based on 60 x40 front, and 60x20 rear bases, decorated and later joined together to make 60x60s using the technique I develped to hide seams (in my basing thread).

I've finished my second Middle Imperial unit, a Cohort of the IIII Scythica. This legion was stationed in Syria, guarding the border with the Parthian and later the Sassanian Empires.

All the figures are from A&A miniatures, and some were bought painted on eBay, painted by a very capable painter (although I did the shields, with A&A transfers, and one hand painted). The shield design is based on the one found at Dura Europos.
I'm quite pleased with them! The tribune came out particularly well, do have a click. There are some shots here of the progress of the painting. I'll return to paint a third unit in a month or so.

Now you mention it, he does have a Crowe-like quality! Paul, just a bit of battlefield dressing; Palmyran, 1 careful owner.

Very nice looking unit and one that's a little bit different. Nice 'colour' to the unit, with a bit of history, and yes the shield is a nice touch.

Mean looking unit. Best, Dean

Great looking unit Simon. I've got some of these to paint as well for fighting my Palmyrans and Sassanids.

Fantastic! Just got some of the new Aventine ones. Can I ask what base sizes you have used?

Very nice painting and basing. After following your modeling work via TMP, I have now become a follower of the BRBC.
