Two more war bands finished

...which gives me five units of 48 figures, all Old Glory. I like the idea of an army composed of guys by the same manufacturer, it's not something I manage very often. Here's how they look in their storage box:
Not bad in work-heavy circumstances: 240 finished since May. It's a start...

    Very nice and good going. I'm same, hate to mix manufacturers within units, it's just wrong! My germans are coming along at decent rate, but it's the shields and transfers which slow me, lifes to short for hand painted shields, or transfers for that matter. Keep them coming.

    Thanks for looking, everyone. I seem to remember Tacitus writng that German shields were brightly coloured, whatever that means in practice, so I kind of went with it. I kept the clothing mostly drab, but I did paint the guys with furry jerkins lighter to look like sheep skin. I have seen some lovely German armies out there with the really dark look, but I wantd something a bit different.

    Very impressive! What a wild mass of irregulars they present for ordered Romans!

      With numbers like that, what could possibly go wrong?
      Looking fantastic, ready to take any unsuspecting Roman army.

      Hi Aaron; these are definitely easier to paint than Gauls!
