Cromarty Forge 10mm Early Imperial Romans - the Story so Far.

 Just before I sign off for about three weeks, here is a quick update on progress on the new project - 10mm EIR Romans (and their enemies). 

The figures are 10mm 3D prints by Cromarty Forge (see here 3D Printed Early Imperial Romans | cromarty forge (centimetrewarriors.com)) although my first batch came from Adam at Adrah Labs 3D Printing | Geelong in Australia.


My first "century" of regular legionaries.







Regulars and Auxiliaries together



The first century of Auxiliaries






I have also created a couple of "higher command" stands from the command pack


As with all these miniatures, the detail on the animal-skin head dress of the eagle bearer and musician, and the eagle itself, is truly amazing!




The second command stand - I do not know enough about the period to say what the difference is between the two eagles - maybe readers know?






A few more Roman command figures and the majority of the British command remain to be painted, but will have to wait for a few weeks, until my overseas visitors are winging their back to bonnie Scotland! Until then, take care of yourselves and enjoy your painting and gaming - I may pop onto blogs for the occasional view and comment, but don't think I will get nay opportunities to post here myself till around 25 Oct.

  6. Very nice work there Kieth- you certainly have a good collection of Romans- hats off to you for painting up the 10mm. I balked at 15mm and shelved the project- way too small I thought. Cheers. KEV.
