I like 'em! Always had a soft spot for the Samnites!

Very nice pieces and painting! One note, they are too clean.

Either you hired real people in costumes for a photograph and then shopped them onto bases or those are the most amazing paint jobs I've seen in a while. Are those 28mm? If they're 54 that explains it. Otherwise those are tough to explain.

Are there enough to play with?

Very nice.
I hope my Samnites turn out as well as yours when I get around to them.

Thanks for the comments guys. Andrew they're all 28mm figures – Victrix, Crusader, Aventine and A&A. I'll use them for ADLG and Impetus both of which have small (8-12 figures) unit sizes, so enough for a small game.

Cheers

Very nice, I especially like the Legio Linteata with the heavy throwing weapon. Recommend 'Samnium and the Samnites' by professor E. T Salmon for detailed reading.

Thanks Jarrovian, I do have the Salmon book but haven't read it yet.

I've just finished painting another unit for my Samnites and thought I would try a solo Basic Impetus game with them against my Camillan Romans.
