Essex 15mm Roman Cavalry

Just to prove that I am continuing to actually paint stuff, here are a couple of my recently finished Essex Roman cavalry units based for DBA or RRtK, which I may eventually get around to playing one day...

The General, based as a three figure, shock cavalry element.




All figures have had their original spears removed and replaced by the excellent wire examples from Crusader Minatures.

Roman cavalry men based as a two-figure mounted skirmisher element...
As usual, Army Painter Strong Tone varnish was employed throughout.


That's it for now, more to follow...

Regards,

Monty

    Really good work monty. I like the base colour a lot. How do you paint your bases, (Colours)?

    Thanks chaps, very kind.

    Paul, I undercoat with dark brown, then dry brush with a lighter sand colour, then with parchment white before matt varnishing and applying static grass.

    Regards,

    Monty

    Kingsley, RRtK are fantasy/historical rules similar to DBA from Two Hour Wargames which use their reaction system. I really like them as they have excellent solo play, but some people don't don't due to their dynamic nature and lack of direct control.

    !!! They are 15mm!? I thought they were bigger...great paint job.

    The daleks....35mm..they came with the Dr Who adventures mag in the UK. I too would love to get some in 1/72nd scale but as far as I know they don´t exist.
    Cheers

    Thanks Paul - very kind,

    I didn't think they did unfortunately, just got an official Dalek 'Ironside' figure on the cheap in Tesco for under a fiver and it got me hoping someone would do them (or similar)smaller; oh, well...
    Regards,
