Jason, though I haven't seen them yet, I would bet money that the finest 1/72 plastic Romans wearing lorica segmentata are going to be the new Zevda Praetorians that will appear this year.<br>
<br>
However, if you want to make more than just legionaries, but a complete 1st century army, then I recommend a combination of the new Hat and esci/italarie legionaries for the legion, and the new hat auxilliaries. Later this year will come compatible cavalry archers, slingers etc. I have test shots of the new auxilliaries and legionaries and they are quite nice. Zevda will probably be a bit better, but will be on the large size, wheras a mix of esci and hat will give more possibilities.<br>
