Nice, inspiring work, as always! Which rule system do you intend to use them for?

Do you have any posts about the white-washed building that is on their flank?

Ave!

You left out "revolting".

Seriously, that is a very cool looking set of minis….

Nice work, especially the basing of the mob. I noticed you have some participants of "rank" among the mob.

Cheers,

Wow, Simon; fantastic work – marvelous group and setting. Best, Dean

Hmm, seems that they are the "Occupy Wineshop" crowd. Don't worry Centurion, just wait a few hours and you can waltz right in without opposition.

Very nice!

Thanks chaps, it's been a while! I won't leave it so long, next time.

Skeptic, the white building is the back of my villa, shown here:-

It was scratchbuild by my friend John Smillie, who did a splendid job.

Cheers, Simon

Very impressive, I'll have to take some notes as I need a few plebes ;-).

LEGION 195021 May 2012 9:12 a.m. PST

Simon, great looking as always. I am glad to see you back!!! I am having a big game Sat. at my house, Numidians vs. Caesarian Romans! Yes with pics! Cheers Mike

Surely this should be entitled "Wioting Woman Wabble"?

Lord Raglan21 May 2012 9:41 a.m. PST

Great stuff Simon, you have done a grand job on these chaps.

Did Mr Murrow sidetrack you away from ancients and into naps by any chance?

Raglan

Personal logo BigRedBat Sponsoring Member of TMP21 May 2012 10:50 a.m. PST

Hi Mike! I've not had my own Numidians out for a while, I look forward to the pics.

Raglan, yes Mr Murrow is an Evil Man who tricked me from the path of Ancient righteousness into wicked Napoleonic heresy.

Cheers, Simon

Caliban21 May 2012 10:53 a.m. PST

Yeah, welcome back Simon

Lord Raglan21 May 2012 11:02 a.m. PST

Murrow is a bad man!!!

Anyway, nice to see you are back on track. Although you will have to go some to keep pace with me. I currently have a bucket load of units painted and ready to exhibit on this delightful forum.

Great stuff!

Hi Raglan,

I have not yet begun to fight. ;-)

Touché monsieur Simon,

Dark Knights And Bloody Dawns21 May 2012 8:31 p.m. PST

Simon, your back!

Cool…

CooperSteveOnTheLaptop22 May 2012 2:31 a.m. PST

Only one thing missing: someone graffiti-ing on the wall…

Karpathian22 May 2012 3:24 a.m. PST

Oh these are very good.

I hesitate to add any criticism but maybe a reference to a chariot faction (The Blues etc) might be nice.

Who asked this joker22 May 2012 5:25 a.m. PST

What are they so cheesed off about? I mean, they get their grain allotment, some of those guys got their land grants and half of those guys aren't even citizens! Kids these days! Very cool vignette.

Yesthatphil22 May 2012 6:41 a.m. PST

Great stuff from a TMP favourite thumbs up

Personal logo BigRedBat Sponsoring Member of TMP22 May 2012 7:19 a.m. PST

Thanks very much chaps, nice to catch up with some old mates!

Cheers, Simon

mashrewba22 May 2012 10:36 a.m. PST

This is so inspiring -only last night I was looking at a big pile of stuff I have amassed for a Spartacus army -I'd better get right on it
Cheers!!!!
Oh -where did you get all the Samian ware?

Personal logo BigRedBat Sponsoring Member of TMP22 May 2012 11:26 a.m. PST

The amphorae are Baeuuda, quite reasonable. I'd really love some Samian ware, and they do sell smaller vessels. For some reason I didn't buy any, next time!

Cheers, Simon
