First a small 12 men unit of Ceasarian Roman legionaries from Warlord. I bought them sprue by sprue in one of their sprues sale. Shields are LBMS. I like them, and painting them was quite nice, but the annoying part was for the gladius armed ones removing the gladiuses (gladia, if my latin has not gone completely downstair...) from the scabbards. Now it was not that difficutl (advantage of plastic, easy to cut!) but when the manufacturer as pila and gladia armed ones on different sprues (and sold separately...) you expect the the bodies are different. Instead only the arms are...
Anyway here are the chaps ready for combat:
I like the shields, I had to get used to a decent method to apply the LBMS transfer on the big spine shields but after a couple of different approaches I found the easy going one... I trimmed the whole shape carefully, did the hole for the boss, and then applied the transfer. Then when it was dried, I used microsol solution to soften it. It was much better than going with the two halves separately. Then usual retouching with a fine brush.
