Here are the main fighters in my new Aventine Roman legion; the Principes. Painted by David Imrie and Shaun Watson.

Very pretty

They do look extremely good Simon – even to a non-Roman like me! Just seen Agema's metal characters which may 'spice' up my Italian Carthaginian allies.

Hi Mike;

Oldbob, I am worrying about storage space. And I've run out of Really Useful Boxes. Again…

LEGION 195004 Aug 2014 9:42 a.m. PST

Simon, I have a basement, but if you do not have one you may want to rent a garage? Cheers Mike P.S. Hi Oldbob

Great work!!

Hi Mike, property in London is so expensive at the moment. Renting a garage is perhaps £150.00 GBP per month; not too secure either. I've always dreamed of building a shed…

They are great.

I think you might need a portacabin. Just get them to hoist one in.

and when that's full……

edit: I've just seen what is says on the bottom one. Looks well dodgy to me. M&S casting couches, who'd have thought.

Hi James; that might do it! :-)

You'll like these better, they aren't Romans. ;-)

Simon; their a fellow in Wales who got his wife to buy him a man cave, just maybe you should ask him how he did it!

Those are some great looking miniatures and beautiful bases.

Personal logo BigRedBat Sponsoring Member of TMP05 Aug 2014 9:50 a.m. PST

Thanks- I think the fellow in Wales built his man-cave by selling us all lots of his minis, oldbob! ;-)

Personal logo oldbob Supporting Member of TMP05 Aug 2014 12:57 p.m. PST

I bought three, all Commanders!

Personal logo BigRedBat Sponsoring Member of TMP05 Aug 2014 1:06 p.m. PST

I bought a load of Polemarch pikes, and some Xystophoroi. And a lot of unpainted lead, too. Oh; and a Pyrrhus.

LEGION 195005 Aug 2014 1:23 p.m. PST

Hey, I bought some too!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers Mike

Exellent shieldwall effect. The mud stained shields are very realistic
