Two More Punic War Roman Legions

 

My aim was to put together a viable Roman Army for the Macedonian and Punic Wars.  With these two formations it is job done.  For those expecting Punic Wars Spanish, my apologies, they will be appearing here next.  Back to the Romans. 

The lead pile could probably produce another two but that can wait.  Here are the new legions in detail the figures are from Chariot and Essex.

I do need some more Roman cavalry as I aim to have two units.  The rest of the mounted arm will be allies and mercenaries.

 The figures are mainly Chariot Miniatures with some from Essex and Forged in Battle.

 This legion has been doing quite well and is colorfully turned out in looted tunics.

This Legion is a little more uniform in clothing colours.  Perhaps they are newly raised or have been in garrison.

Once again these are old Chariot or Essex castings.

They began life as a DBA Army.

They were bought over a series of visits to War Games Shops rather than all at once.  It's not how we do it today.

Nearly job done on the Romans then.  There is something pleasing about repurposing the old figures too.  Soon, I'll begin on the Gauls, a test of anyone's painting skills.
