link I put a post up a couple of weeks ago at the start of my 28mm Victrix Allied Italian Legion Project and I'm going to use this as a thread for the whole build. I've laid out the project bases on the table as blanks and will fill them in as I go along. Its part of my attack at the Analogue Hobbies Winter Paint Challenge so I've got till March 21st to get them done. Can I do it ? Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer |

Nice. All that white makes me think Samnites. |

Most impressive! As a suggestion, maybe you could base the triarii in a single rank across the rear of the legion? That would look, I think, rather cool. You could always double them up if the rules require it. |

Thanks all, I have thought about single rank for the Triarii but I'm not convinced yet. I'm going to game out a number of the various suggestions for the triplex and see which I like best. Single rank Triarii although it would look right would be quite poor fighting wise so its a trade off. One to think about, I've got three months before I get to the back of the Legion lol Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer |

Beautiful looking army project! |

I always wondered what happened to the velites when battle was joined? Each legion has quite a few of this type of troop. |

Moving on to the second line of the Legion now with 32 Principes
link The progress photo at the end fills me with a bit of hope that I might actually get this done. If you do take time to click on the link above it would be great if you have a look round some other posts on the Analogue Hobbies Winter Paint Challenge some great entries this year. See you in a couple of days for some Commanders. Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer |

link Closing in on the end now, the second of two, two figure, Command Bases, these Victrix horses are lovely but rather large, not sure if three would fit on a 60mm frontage like the rest of my Cavalry. Last batch of Principes next. Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer |

link Above is the second batch of 32 Principes, not far to go to reach projects end now, just 1 Cavalry the Triarii and a Command Base to go. Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer |

I gave up trying to find my 8 #Velites deserters so these lads have been recruited from @Gripping_Beast to fill the gap. Just Triarii and a Command Base to go. |

Really fun to watch the project come to fruition. Your speed vs quality painting is impressive. |
yarkshire gamer | 14 Mar 2021 2:22 p.m. PST |
Thats the main Command Base done, just 4 bases of Triarii to go. Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer |
Mollinary | 14 Mar 2021 3:42 p.m. PST |
These are magnificent, well done ! |

Most impressive! Loving the Aventines. |

youtu.be/5goO9AGlPEA Short Project Build Vid youtu.be/WJo7TNv1ZuA Long Painting Tutorial Well there we go folks, a Legion in 3 days under 3 months, last unit of 32 Triarii done. I will do a project complete post separately with more pics on, but those of you have followed thank you. Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer |
Marcus Brutus | 19 Mar 2021 6:57 a.m. PST |
Are you retired because that is impressive production. Again, I really like watching the bases getting filled up over time. |
yarkshire gamer | 19 Mar 2021 10:54 a.m. PST |
I wish I was retired and to make it worse my job has been the same throughout lockdown. I put it down to once paying my gas bills by painting, hiding mistakes with grass tufts and working shifts (everyone is asleep when I get home) Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer |
