If you need a Horde in hurry their 15mm Orcs and Goblins paint up very nicely.

I like the dark grey armour, speaks of no nonsense professionals, shiny armour is for the parade ground.

I have some in miniature so of course would like to squeeze them onto a Generals or camp base but from some cursory googling can't find any mention of them on campaign. From what I can tell they seem to be some sort of bodyguard/ crowd controller types that accompanied the Big Man around town. Apparently they've been in existence since the Roman Kingdom and the institution may well have been borrowed from the Etruscans.
Curious if anyone has some insight into these fellows and their uses?

The Equites. Because they turned out okayish, a couple of alternate rules Generals. Some of the Warmodelling horses can be a little funky.

The last of the mounted for my Romans, I'd love a couple more elements of Equites but for the time being that's all I have. This first fellow is my original General from the late nineties, never been stripped, god knows how many layers of paint on him. Only some shading and highlighting on him this time, I did strip and repaint his companions. Oh, different horses too. Because everyone needs a spare.

The guy on the left is 15mm from QRF, I don't recall the code, and the guy on the right (I believe) is a 15mm Warmodelling rider on an Essex horse. Though when I say 15mm it's more of a Xyston 15mm, whatever that is.

I can't understand how they always turn up on time, no one gets lost or sinks - there is no double jeopardy involved what-so-ever. Given how easy it seems, I'm surprised we don't read about it more often in the historical records. 😉 Jim Fortunately, Peter Jackson helps us all envision what an historical beach landing may have looked like.

Despite my best intentions to paint up some horse for my Ancient British Celti Types I have been seduced by Middle Earth and started a Fangorn force. Granted it is only 6 figures but then it will need an Isengard opposing force. Something to fire up your imagination.

Since we're on the subject of Baueda, bonus palisade camp. We'll see if the Grognards can identify the make of the sentries.

And so, it has come to the Triarii.

Thanks. I've seen that one and its currently at the top of my list. Bit concerned about its size. I want to use Baueda Numidians. Would the QRF elephant look a bit small alongside them?
The Forged in Battle ones look fantastic but, living in Australia, I'd be looking at a very expensive elephant (and an equally expensive spare!)!
I have the QRF Numidian Elephant, it's just about identically sized to the Old Glory one in the photo. The crew are noticeably smaller than the Old Glory crew in the tower, closer in size to the mahout or Essex.

The shields of the Libyan spearmen are mostly LBMS or VVV transfers. Another group of mercs and a couple of terror weapons.
