Saga: 28mm Republican Romans

This is a painted 28mm Republican Roman I have for sale. I painted it in several years agho but have never used it. The miniatures are a mix of Victrtix and Crusader. There are 63 foot & 1 mounted.  I am asking for $400. I will have it at Historicon July 15-19. I have temporarily set comments to moderation if you want to contact me.

The mounted Consul or Tribune.  I managed to fit a musician on the base as well.


The Consul on foot with another musician.


For the Hastati I chose to use white tunics and white shields. These 8 Hastati are throwing pila.


8 Hastati with gladius at the ready.

6 Hastati with upright pila.  This is the only unit in the army with plain shields.  I didn't have quite enough decals so left them plain white.  It makes it even easier to differentiate between units.


I used red tunics and red shields for the Principes; these 6 have upright pila.  
 
Six Principes with gladius in hand.


The last unit of principes; 6 throwing pila.

I gave the Triarii red tunics and yellow shields.  This is the first unit of 4 with their traditional long spears.  These are Crusader Miniatures with Victrix shields.  I really like Crusader, they have a wide variety of figures and they tend to mix well with the other manufacturers I use.  There are 4 different poses; the units have 1 of each.

The other 4 Triarii with spears.


Six of the 12 Velites armed with javelins.  I really like how Victrix models some of them holding extra javelins in their left hand.

The other 6 Velites.

The might of Rome, arranged in a rough triplex acies or checkerboard format with the Velites screening the front, and the Hastati, Principes, and Triarii in successive lines.

28mm Zombies and Survivors

This a group of 28mm miniatures from Hasslefree Miniatures.  Their website is currently being renovated, so I am not including the catalog names as I normally do.  I purchased these in November 2021 and May 2022 during their sales and painted them in two batches in spring and summer 2022.  I still have a few left that I intend to work on between batches of ancients for Saga.

A father and daughter who have managed to survive the apocalypse.  

A couple of miniatures for my 7TV games.  A civilian bystander; a heroic strongarm who has a Captain America look to him, so I used blue and red with a lightning bolt symbol instead of a star; and a new member of my biker gang that has been separated from his colleagues.



Now on to the living dead.  I experimented with some different skintones this time to add some variety to my zombie horde.  A zombie school girl on the left and a zombie surfer on the right who just isn't ready to leave his board behind.

A fresh zombie who isn't ready to let go of her pistol just yet, and my favorite of this batch, the zombie mime.  One of those miniatures that makes me smile every time I look at it.  Deadly because he can sneak up on you without making the usual zombie noises, the quick-witted survivor can save themselves by using the Invisible Wall technique.

Zombie doctor bitten by a patient and a zombie who appears to be very upset about her current state of existence.

The obligatory group shot.

15mm Historicals: Hoplite Greek, Post-Roman Britons, & Sea Peoples

ALL SOLD

I have three painted 15mm historical armies for sale.  They will be for sale at Historicon on July 21-24, 2022.  I will be in the flea market on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning.  I have comments on this post moderated so if you are interested you can give me your contact details through a comment without it posting publicly.

Hoplite Greeks $104

The Greeks are a Xyston DBA army pack.  There are 5 mounted and 42 foot miniatures.  I believe the pack was Athenian but they would serve for most later Greek armies.  They have Little Big Men Studios decals and the bases have magnets on the bottom.  They have never been used.



Britons $112

The Britons represent the forces of the post-Roman Britain/Arthurian period.  There are 11 mounted and 34 foot miniatures.  They are mostly Splintered Light Miniatures; one stand of cavalry and a couple of the spearmen are Chariot Miniatures.  They have Little Big Men Studios decals and the bases have magnets on the bottom.  They have never been used.




Sea Peoples $88

These are Essex Miniatures.  There are 39 foot and 1 chariot.  The bases have magnets on the bottom.
