slowly slowly ...

things are ticking over slowly on this project...

not much left in my stash of bits ...

 the gallic cavalry additions are at least primed and the horses painted ....

a pile of roman civilians, stallholders and stalls await the paint brush .....

gallic cavalry additions - WIP

finished the intial conversion work for some extra gallic cavalry; only enough bits and horses for four figures...

need to tidy up some of the green stuff bits ....

The Roman Army ...

the roman army assembled on the table ..... nice to see it all together ....

Something to tinker with ...

A sort of the remainder of spares box yielded some spare horse and riders, plus a few shields. Enough to make up four more cavalry figures for the Gauls.

I had to hack two riders about a bit to fit on two spare Italeri Fabbri horses, the other should be a simple assembly and detail job.

Need to make good and fill in with green stuff etc ....

Auxiliary Cohort ...

finally got round to painting up the last unit of auxiliaries (converted Italeri romans see http://romansgohome.blogspot.com/2018/01/final-tweak-to-auxiliaries-wip.html)

The unit has arrived at Botulinum after a tour of duty on the northern military frontier. They have been turned out on to the parade ground for an inspection ....

The legionaries are on the march ...

The detachment of the legion had left their headquarters at Condimentium and are marching to take up quarters in Botulinum - it is hoped their presence may quell the local unrest among the gallic tribes.

Roman Auxiliary Cavalry

An ala of roman auxiliary cavalry has arrived to re-inforce the garrison of Botulinum; they are being reviewed by the garrison commander ...
