Recently some Fantasy Romans popped up on LAF. I really like the concepts and sooner or later the poster and I got in contact. He was kind enough to send my some samples and I was blown away by the sheer quality of the miniatures.
The minis are big chunky multipart resin that are full of character and conversion options, different heads weapon options etc. I chose amore traditional outfit for my 1st mini, gladius and shield plus helmet.
The base is a
GW 32
mm base since the mini is REALLY BIG. You can see a comparison picture further down. To enhance the base I used some Milliput and the nice Rolling Pin ROMAN. Great effect!
The mini was based in Citadel Chaos black. After that some Citadel Ironbreaker for all the metal parts, Nuln Oil shade, again some Ironbreaker - done. Mephistion Red for the tunic and shield. Carroburg Crimson Shade and again some Red for some highlights. Skin is
AV 72.100 Rosy Flesh, a Citadel Reikland Fleshshade, and again Rosy Skin with mixed in white for the flesh highlights. The gold is done all with citadel colours, Gehenna Gold, Agrax earthshade, again Gehenna Gold and finally some Auric gold with mixed in silver. All brown parts are
AV Burnt Umber and
AV flat earth highlights.
The mini is NOT fitting to any historical Roman range that I know of since the mini is around 42
mm high (top of helmet - feet)! See the comparison picture below. Even a Primaris Marine is dwarfed!
IMO no problem since the mini line is obviously not aiming at any established setting or genre.
