Roman Rebels - at the edge of the empire

[Xantippos]

Some more ancients, this time Late Roman Infantry. Although nice, I put off buying these until more or less there was nothing else I didn't have at the model shop... !

Once purchased, their plastic colour commanded me to give them an exciting paint job.

I decided to paint them as Roman Rebels, fighting for the imperial crown, in an eastern province, ready to overthrow the legitimate Emperor.









As usual, more pics in my blog, https://toysoldierchest.blogspot.com.mt ... roman.html

I hope they can be appreciated well enough, if not, let me know and I'l ltake indoor pics of them.

Very nice! The colors remind me in the eastern-roman rebels from Rome Total War

Hahaha, like Ben90, I immediately thought about the vanilla version of total war-BI !

Those MiniArt 72012 are hugly as hell, it is pretty difficult to get something from that set.
Fortunately other manufacturers offer better set, like the Italeri 6137, pratically perfect... and with engraved shield patterns !

Many thanks for the comments. I am glad to see there is plenty of Rome Total War fans out there like me! a lot of my painting and modelling is influenced by Total War. There is a before and after Rome Total War and it's following games .

They aren't as bad as some, it's true many faces are just missing, but if you are lucky and you get a good set (the flash can vary hugely, I was quite lucky to get a good one, but I have seen some very bad ones) you can still get nice figures out of them. I like the proportions and lifelike poses.

Next soldiers I take pictures I will make them in studio, the difference is huge. I am seeing the pictures and they don't look half as nice as they are in person...

Btw; the banner is straightly taken and printed from the original file in Barbarian Invasion .
