"Victrix converted Italian armoured warriors" Topic

Just put an image up on the Victrix FaceBook page of the Italian armoured warriors unit I converted, painted by Andrew Taylor. He has done a superb job so just had to share!

These were converted from the Italian allied legions set,Velites, Greek legs from the peltast and unarmoured Hoplites sets and a few bits from the armoured Hoplites. Plus javelins here and there from Warlord and Wargames Facotory.

Loving those, Steve! Lovely minis, stunning paint job.

Best, Simon

Beautiful figures. The conversion must have been a good deal of work.

Steve, great looking figures!!!!!!!! Mike Adams

Stunning painting – Andrew Taylor is in a class of his own!

Excellent surgery on these figures Steve. Andrew does a great job to finish them off.

Nice!

I don't suppose you'd ever consider doing Persians in plastic to fight the Greeks?

Superb painting!!!

Glad people like them. The conversions were not really very tricky on these. It was mostly chopping the legs off Greek Peltasts, slingers and archers and some Velites and then replacing those on the Armoured Italians. Any gaps just filled with a bit of green-stuff or glue. I did a few hand transplants to get some javelin variety but overall they were quick to do.

The unarmoured figures I have pasted below took a little longer as on some I made Green-stuff sword straps over shoulders and shaved off some swords from Greek Peltast bodies and replaced them with Roman style sword scabbards.

With legs and bodies I had left over I have made a Campanian Hoplite unit which needs painting.

Great conversions!

Really great work and fantastic brush work!

The bronze is a bit good! :)

Cracking Steve,

Love some of those transfers mate

Beautiful!
