Thank you my friends!

I think the main use of these casualties would be for scenes during battle or immediately after: The winning side would have collected all metal items in the aftermath of the battle. So there might be room for a second set, showing casualties already without arms and armor ... and the crows already doing their work.
Casualties of battle is their main purpose indeed, in fact in my immediate future plans there are also two other similar sets to complete these kind of sceneries:
one of legionaries wounded in combat, and one of wounded legionaries with rescuers and medic.
Concerning similar sets of possible opponent enemies, yes, it's a good idea which I thought about.
But it takes time, work, and resources to spend for the production... resources which I must be reasonably sure to get back in reasonable time, to cover the cost of next releases, as usual, due my limited finance.
Furthermore there are plenty of possibilities... as many as the many Roman opponents, and I really don't know from which one to start!
So I must choose carefully, possibly to reduce to one or two generic kind of enemies, to be adapted in various sceneries...
one probably worth could be generic barbarians, which with few painting differences and the proper weapons accessories could represent both Gauls, Germans and Britons.
Another one very versatile I suppose could be generic Hellenic warriors, which could represent another large variety of Roman enemies, and somehow ancient Romans themselves too...
What do you think about?
Then in future perhaps I will also do some kind of generic tunic dressed and naked casualties, which could represent dead civilians and any kind of soldiers stripped off from their weapons and armors...
My god The list of projects and my schedule seem infinite!

I hope you put them into a mould before painting the masters as I would need a lot of them - and much more of their enemies (Celts) to bring some life in my diorama here
Of course my friend, I always do that...
These figures in fact are just the first home made test castings, the masters are now at the factory for the production... which will take 3 or 4 months before to be ready and available... So just it's just a matter to be patient for a while!
