Just a quick up-date.
Advancing Principes in mail are now complete with 16 Hasta/Pila foot and 44 swordsmen, 12 different command. Bronze armoured principes/triarii will arrive shortly.
Next up are unarmoured stationary infantry with Scuta and hasta to represent the 4th and 5th lines, these will be followed by stationary Hastati with scuta, pila and pectoral armours then gentlemen it is the cavalry with Tarentine light horse and Roman heavies.
Cheers

Earlier versions of Principes now released. The first two packs are swordsmen in subarmalis and bronze pectorals. The next two will be spear/pila versions then the unarmoured stationary hastati/Ascenci and then the stationary Hastati with pectorals. We will then tackle the Roman Cavalry and the Tarentines before starting on commands. The last of the range will be the two skirmisker sets, slingers and archers.
Before starting on Pyrrhics we will complete the Elephant range with an African and an astride Indian.
Cheers

Right, and after that, the workers, civilians, craftsmen, female camp followers and stableworkers, flock tenders, blacksmiths, etc., right? :wink:

A bit smaller than I prefer to work with, but very nice indeed.

Cute! I'm surprised people still do tabletop games with figures though. I thought everyone played that dreadful "Total War" thing on their computers nowadays.

Well folks, we have finished with the Republicans for now. The last packs were the senior foot command sets RR50 and RR51.[attachment=1:19x2p3ia]<!-- ia1 General with lictors and servant 1.jpg<!-- ia1 [/attachment:19x2p3ia][attachment=0:19x2p3ia]<!-- ia0 Senior officers and Cavalryman with dead horse.jpg<!-- ia0 [/attachment:19x2p3ia]
As Theo has pointed out we have started on the Pyrrhics.

Very nice work. Good detail for such small figures. Is the officer a legatus?

As I see it the senior officer in the RR50 pack could be either a tribunus or a legatus in appearence, the presence of the lictors indicates some magistrate rank, two being proconsul requirement. As these are wargame figures and subject to scaling of numbers on the table, they could represent whatever rank you want.
