An update on the Early Imperial Roman legions from Corvus Belli. The figures with shields attached are Ultracast from Plastic Soldier Company and the unshielded figures are metals from Corvus Belli. 

The colour for the lorica segmenta is Army Painter Platemail and this was used the undercoat by spraying. It is a first time painting this method and so far all good. 

More updates to follow in 2023.

Cheers for now

First session for this year's Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge XIII sees the base flesh painted on the first three rows of figures below. The rear rows  - excluding the command stand on the left of screen - have been painted before the start date and will not be included in the tally towards my Challenge points.

The figures are mostly Corvus Belle scuplts with both PSC Ultracasts and metals in the mix. The command figures are a mix of both 3D print and metal casts. 

Tomorrow night's session will see the armour and tunics taking colour after some searches for Batavian colour schemes for Early Imperial Roman auxilia. 

Cheers for now.

RayR's recent post made me have a look at the calendar and realise that AHPC XIIII is 6 days away and I haven't started the ritual tidying of the hobby desk. The picture below shows the daily carnage that I call a hobby desk and a poor attempt has been made to start the tidy up.

More pictures to follow over the weekend - time allowing - including some of the prep work started for this year's challenge including:

• 28mm Republican Romans for SAGA: Age of Hannibal
• 28mm Carthaginians for SAGA: Age of Hannibal
• 28mm Late Romans
• 15mm Early Imperial Romans for ADLG
• 15mm Arabs for ADLG
• 15mm Thracians for DBA and ADLG
• 15mm Wars of the Roses for ADLG
• 6mm Punic and Macedonian Wars for Age of Hannibal (LittleWarsTV) and DBA

Looking forward to the off and following everyone's progress in paint. 

Cheers for now, 

Ross
