I'm starting my Impetus Western Late Roman mobile field army (Comitatenses) project. Since I hope to finish it in a reasonable amount of time I opted for AP with additional highlights added. First up are some Heavy Infantry with archer support. All my infantry will be done in 4 units colour coded blocks consisting of 2 spear and 2 archer units. The figures are Foundry with LBM transfers plus some MIG pigments on the shields. Thanks for viewing! :) More on my blog: link Christopher

Very lovely! Great painting and basing. I'd not thought of using the MIG pigments on shields, will buy some.

The main aspect of Impetus and Basic Impetus that really appeals to me is the large unit bases. These are really nice!
