Yes, it is - though not my work - came like that on that big lot. We liked it, so decided to keep it... I did change the klicky (original can be seen in the arrivals).

Now, on to the smaller groups, with only an officer..


From the more recent scorpion special (several soldiers came of them), with original klickys..






Also based on an existing klicky, these were supposed to be (one of) the cavalry, but the cloaks got in the way, so they "moved"..

Great stuff they all look good and nice to have some women for a bit of variety for the collection and the male Klickies  ;). Gotta say I'm a really stickler for the traditional Roman solider we all think of with the standard armour and big suqaure shields to do the turtle manouver, the small groups look good as well though the armour on the guys with thte white cloaks and oval shields is beautiful but, even more so is the armour on the Scorpion guys gotta love them with those beautiful blue cloaks great work  :roman:

Great work tahra! You should make an emperor as well.. one in toga and one in battle armour and they're ready to conquer Europe. The 'Scorpions' were, if I'm right, the Preatorians.. special guard of the emperor and directly under his command. (The emperors were always afraid for treasury so they surrounded themselves with the most loyal soldiers, the Preatorians. They only took orders from higher ranked Preatorians or the emperor himself)

For horsemen, I purchased some of the white shortest capes, which fit well!

The group of the 'home made cape' commander seems well equiped for conquering the northern territories

We have several civilians in togas...

The supreme commander of the military is in the works. Will take a while  :-[

Might need some of those shorter capes :)


And some more..

From that AWESOME pirate torso (that I absolutely LOVE), came these... Again in red, easy..






Finally, my archers.. (I know, I need a couple more of them!)... Decided on no shields for them. Another group that worked rather well.. IMO.

Finally, only cavalry left.. Many horses are missing headgear and saddle hooks. Working on it.


First, these were made from the second specials (minus big green shield)






And the female cavalry, with the big help of the scorpion special! The officer needs... SOMETHING. And when I dominate the technique, a new shield, in gold.
