Well, first, this is (obviously) not historically accurate...
The romans were ALWAYS among our favorites, ever since that first long skirted one
We always wished for an alternative, maybe the way AIRGAM did it, so they could actually ride..
Ages later, playmobil sorted that...
I still have doubts about officers and company. Right now, I have smaller.. centuries (? are they centuries?) of 10 soldiers that only have an officer. Larger ones have also the signifier and the horn guy (technical term!
) I wish I
could get my hand on some of those proper... roman-horn-thingamajig. Don't remember who makes them, and probably too expensive anyways, even if for sale... Then again, I think Crassus asked for both...
Recently I took pics of my legions (legion? AGH.) As they stand now. Like I said, still not sure about officers and such.
And have a couple more (as in 3 actually in progress, another still in "thinking stage") in the works, so it could change.
Right now, a lot of officers and company (company is the signifier and trumpeter) have no shields. I THINK maybe they should. Also, they are not in uniform.. it allows for a bit more variety (and sometimes I have no parts for 2 more
)
(anyone read this far?)
So, I took a photo of each group, and then details of officer & co. and the soldiers (all properly detwinned - unless I missed someone!).
First, the group based on the first special. MAYBE I'll change some heads. I'm quite sure not all are named. We'll see. The soldiers are original, just added the shield.
After much messing with the original second special, it was decided they'd move to cavalry, and the shields should go to a more... "greenish" group. Since I realized the potential of those shorts (many came with the naked torsos I actively hunted), figured it would be a good match.. I quite like the result, actually.
