That's really good, Tiermann.  I especially like the Gaul.  Reminds us that the legionaire helmets were influenced by the gallic helmet.

I like the Romans and the Gaul. As for rhe Afrika Korps member, neat custom but the red cross badge is a problem, but then I guess you were just experimenting here and not aiming to produce a final version.

Hi Tanotrooper,

Those are great looking figures. 
Perhaps the Africa Korps guy is a
Medic?

Best regards,

yep. The caesar legionnaire isnt accurate, its a more decorative image of the Roman soldier of those days. The 1st century legionnaire is how caesar's troops looked like.
