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.

  1. Very nice. I always liked the look of Hastati in white shields after seeing an illustration of them in an Osprey book.
