Firstly some Albion desert infantry, from various manufacturers, for use with the Frankish foreign legion and Arab figures. Secondly some ancients - an Expeditionary Force Druid which will be a fine addition to my Celts and a legionary standard bearer ( thanks Tidders for these unexpected recruits) who with some Roman odds and ends will form a group of first century Romans ( survivors of a defeated army) trying to get back to to their own troops. In other words a skirmish game with a little role playing element re skills etc.
Later in the day the post man arrived with some Frankish recruits-
In the form of AIP ww1 French. I am painting them up as 1930 Chasseurs a pied to fight alongside my Chasseurs dAlpine to oppose the Duchy of Volare. In the background are some Roman damaged figures getting new shields and others converted to auxilia. I hope to get a little more done tomorrow.
Lots of lovely figures - the WW1 chaps are very nice
ReplyDeleteAIP have a larger feel to them which I think will go well with my Starlux chaps.
DeleteVariety is indeed the spice of life.
ReplyDeleteGreat to ring the changes indeed.
DeleteVery nice Alan, the Romans are nice and as for Armies in Plastic I hear all the cool kids are into them!.
ReplyDeleteRegards,
Paul.
A mix of Romans but fun to work on.
DeleteGreat work on interesting figures.
ReplyDeleteI've picked up a few AIP sets because they look so fun. I figured with the simple details they'd be so quick and easy to paint - but there is so much surface area to paint - compared to the 28mm figures I'm used to - that I'm not sure I ever finished any!?
