EARLY IMPERIAL ROMAN AUXILIARY ARCHERS AND BALEANIC SLINGERS 28mm

Starting to slowly put together forces for Infamy Infamy, after looking at all the different manufactures' miniatures for this period I decided to go with Victrix miniatures.
Lovely models with plenty of  crisp detail, great for painting. They are plastic and need to be assembled with the help of some plastic glue. The Victrix site has some great images for reference, which does help with selecting colours for the forces.

The Early Imperial Roman arches have been painted with a bit of variety in the colour of the tunics and pants. I also attached a thread to the bows to give them a more realistic look.
The Baleanic Slingers tunic have been painted with a slight variation in colour and are a bit more gritty.

All the figures are bases on metal with the groups base also made of metal with tiny magnets superglued and surface texture added with a thin coat of Milluput.

Its been a great experience painting a different period of troops in History, at the moment I am assembling some Early Imperial Roman Auxiliary Cavalry to paint.
