Looking for something fun to put in my imperial and soon to be Caesarian Roman armies. Now I have a stand of centaurs as Cv. and one element of Hydra born skeletal spear men in my Greek 25mm army but am trying to find something for the Romans. The Greeks also have a minotaur and Medusa guarding the baggage/camp. So you get the general idea of what I am looking for, all I have found so far is the baueda roman priest with a sacrifice but would like something a bit more eye catching so to say. The Greek Cv. Centaurs have caught some by surprise as they only suddenly noticed them mid game. Thoughts anyone? |

Perhaps the Warlord Kenneth Williams as your Caesar? "Infamy, infamy… they've all got it in for me!" |

Lemures en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemures someone does Undead Legionaries & somebody else did Lemures (but can't remember whom).
Reaper have a skeletal centurion link A gaggle of (Juno's) geese & some nymphs to guard your camp. |

I like the Centurion to mix in with the regular troops. |

Some very small minis game did fantasy ancients a little bit ago. I'll try to find it. They had Roman bear cavalry… |

And then you could have the boundless fun of finding which rank he's standing in. |

The asterix figures would be great as well, will cruise the internet someone somewhere must have some.
Great ideas so far, any more? |

Here's a few vignette ideas for Roman armies that might inspire you. The rebel Roman General Quintus Sertorius has a magical white fawn when commanding in Spain ~80-72BC. You could add a young white deer to a Roman general base. Marcus Cassius Scaeva, a Caesarean Centurion fought on at Dyrrhachium, 48BC, despite suffering a wound to his thigh, losing an eye and his shield being pieced by 120 arrows. Perhaps a legionary base commanded by a wounded centurion with an arrow riddled scuta. Pompey raised some cavalry by issuing horses and weapons to slaves and shepherds during the early civil war with Caesar. Maybe add some sheep to a Roman auxiliary cavalry base. Emperor Caligula allegedly made war on the sea and made his favourite horse a senator. Fish on Pila, sea shells as treasure or laurels/toga on a horse perhaps? An Augustan centurion Lucilius was knicknamed 'bring me another' by his men because he broke so many vine staffs beating them. Have a centurion breaking his staff on a legionary hidden on a legionary base. Trev |

Black Cat in the UK does a range of skeletal Romans: link Shades after Teutoburgerwald!? |

Are the Black Cat Romans 25's or 15's I couldn't tell unless I missed something on the web site? They would be good as a small legion from the Teutoburgwald incident as you mentioned.
As a friend of mine brings some Early Germans to the Lancster 'con's so should fit right in, they can 'ask' for there Eagle back in the game.
Thank you. |
