Last night was a good session at the painting table and the results are below:
These figures are from Foundry and are the sixth of nine such stands for the Marian/Caesarian army for DBA and ADLG that has slowly been progressing here. Based on 60mm fronts two stands together will be a standard sized unit in Hail Caesar as well so there is a bit of variety in alternative systems they will be usable for.
The shields were a pain and although they started with a Little Big Man transfers, the green Laurels above and below the boss just didn't show well enough. After playing about a bit with different positions and light decided that the best thing to do was over paint the shields to match the dark grey base. The results you see in front of you. To be honest, for the remaining figures it's looking very much like water slide transfers from VVV instead of the Little Big Men transfers.
One other thing that has been causing issues lately is using the camera in the phone. Next month going to go back to the digital camera so can do more with settings at taking the picture instead of editing afterwards. It's swings and roundabouts however it will be interesting to see what the end results will be.
So in terms of the 30 Day 30 Miniatures Painting Challenge these take the month's tally to:

Great looking Romans. LBMS transfers are tricky to apply; btw, did you use a white base on the shields - for the record, I like water slide decals better - like VVV.
I like the way that you have based them emphasising their close order fighting style. The colour scheme is very effective.
They look good shoulder to shoulder.
I found a white (or cream) base best for the transfers.
