Back to the Brushes 362

 Been painting some flesh tones on these poor bloody pedes for the ever expanding Late Roman project. The final highlight has to be added and then it's on to helmets, armour and the like. 

In total there are 16 figures here that have not seen any paint prior to the shortest day of 2022 with another two off screen when the pics were taken. These 18 will count towards the AHPC XIII whilst the others are just along for the ride. 

The figures are from Gripping Beast and are still firm favourites here for this period. There is something in the sculpts that captures the varied and failing nature of the Late Roman period. 

At this point no choices have been made as which unit they will represent although its likely to be less prestigious unit, perhaps one with a plain shield to avoid using transfers for a change. Still plenty to do before making that call.  

Feel that a dose of focus is required as these have jumped the queue in front of their smaller and earlier kin of EIR Legions.  Still waiting on the post to sort out a small parcel so they can get back on track. 

Cheers for now
