A Legionary of the Marcomannic Wars.

[Ross Cowan]

Ahh - I see Nick Fuente's article is still knocking around and influencing people. :evil:

I designed the Legionary plates back in 2001/2 and didn't have Graham Sumner's excellent research to help with the tunic colour. I get rather weary of the moans about the plates in my Legionary books, usually regarding tunic colour or Newstead LS or eagles in cages. I did a decent job at the time, especially with the Teutoburg and Imma battle scenes. As regards equipment and clothing, I would do things differently now, but I am more interested in drama and action. As I have said in another thread (concerning Sekunda's Spartan Army), if you think an Osprey book is not up to scratch or is out of date, submit a proposal. That's what I did.

Cheers,

R!
