Re: M087 - Caesar Army on the March

Yes, seperate shields is always the best option but from the looks of the new Roman masters the shields are for the most part moulded onto the figures. Still, we can always hope!

Jerzy - have you tried pitching Byzantines to Strelets? You might get them quicker than from HaT!

Re: M087 - Caesar Army on the March

I did but with no success...MAy bewe have ti ask for VI -VII AD Byzantines, so they wil be good for late Roman subjects , too.

Re: M087 - Caesar Army on the March

Another vote for separate shields, especially in action postures - if it means losing a pose or two, the ridiculous backhand slash figures can go for a start!
With a bit of luck, the dubious apron straps on the Republican legionaries shouldn't show up too much after painting (although if Strelets knows of any evidence for them that everyone else seems to have missed, I'd be interested to hear...)
Incidentally, the guy in the Caesar set marching with his pilum held horizontally behind his neck ain't going to be popular with his mates on either side of him... )
