As the title indicated.....

From Aventine- superbly detailed and crisply cast....

Ya know what? I like how you kept the philtrums fairly subtle.

Nice work. Great, neat colours.

They are stunning. Really somehow bold and subtle at the same time, and those shields are beautiful.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

LBMS transfers on the shields so I can only take credit for the small shields the officers are holding. To be honest it would have been madness to embark on painting all the infantry without using tranfers- there are already 280 infantry to do!

Then there's the cavalry to come

I do enjoy painting shields and have done so on many of my armies.

No, no, no! Don’t do that! You post such beautiful painted figs, and now I’ll go off and buy yet another project that I’ll never get to.

Fantastic work. Enjoying your stuff here (and mostly on LAF)
