I have been interested in the Romans since I was a small boy over 60 years ago and learned about them in school and then visited sites along Antonine's Wall a few miles from our house. My first Legion was formed of 1/72 Airfix models. Unfortunately these have suffered over the years and so late last year I started collecting Warlord 28mm Early Imperial Romans (and others) and gradually I intend to raise a whole legion with auxiliaries and support services.
So far I have painted some older Foundry Romans at the rear, 5 Legionary Cohorts, 1 Auxiliary Cohort, Auxiliary cavalry, western archers and some slingers and artillery. At the rear a few civilians, Praetorians and baggage and in blue the dismounted cavalry. They represent Legio VI Victrix and I have another 5 cohorts of Legio VI and one of Legion IX, 1 Auxiliary cohort, 2 Scorpio and 2 carrobalistae on the work bench or laid out primed. More troops are on order.
So more to come! Oh and there are also Celts to oppose them - Do the enemies of Rome get to appear here too?
