Just finished off Xyston Celts as Ancient Britons and looking for an Early Imperial opponent (preferably rectangular shield, lamellar armour). Anyone have views on the most suitable manufacturer? Regards Alan

Hi Alan, can highly recommend the Corvus Belli Imperial Romans. I painted some up a couple of years ago: link very pleased with how they look.

I'd second Corvus Belli. Warmodelling are good but lack the cavalry. OG15s are pretty decent.

There's quite a few photos of Corvus Bell's EIR range in our gallery. -- Martin Stephenson Vexillia Limited :: Wargames Miniatures & Accessories Shop \| Gallery \| Pike & Plunder \| Facebook \| Twitter

Thanks, Corvus Belli it is. Regards Alan

CB are going to look small next to your Xystons which could be a good thing since Romans were smaller than their Celtic neighbours.

But CB make some of the best EIR. Also give OG15s a look as well. They come with plumes but I easily snipped them off.

Always had a fondness for Essex and Rebel Minis has some nice EIR.

Most of my EIR collection is by Old Glory 15s. I like them very much and have added to them with interesting figures from Essex and Corvus Belli. Corvus Belli makes some great figures of Roman soldiers in marching dress. You can see my EIR figures at link

Corvus belli!

Blue Moons are superb. Regards Russ Dunaway

Blue Moon aren't Early Imperials, OG, they're Late Republicans.
Old Glory	11 Apr 2014 4:14 p.m. PST
Not the one they will be releasing soon. Regards Russ Dunaway

Best 15 mm EIR- no contest really: link

"Best 15 mm EIR- no contest really" Not when the OP prefers not to have the mailed legionaries. They are also a bit static and don't include all the troops you'd probably want.
