R is for Return to Roman Raiders

Another follow-up; they were a box-ticker last time, so this will try to be briefer! I brought my few Cherilea 60mm Romans together from the storage lot with that larger bunch I 'scored' on evilbay a while back, and took a few shots of the result.

One for the family album!

Rome on tour circa 200AD! I've still only got one good standing ready chap (a couple of damaged ones I didn't include), but that's OK as he makes a good boss-type! And the blue standard bearer might find himself in the conversion pile one day if I ever get round to modelling again.

Base Types

I don't think there's any change from last time and they weren’t easy to shoot so I've stopped it down, but none of the Cherilea 'wax seal' type marks you see on the WWII or Roundheads have turned-up . . . yet?

From the Rear

They aren't bad really, but you can't make a decent line or maniple from them so 'skirmishing' rather than 'following the numbers', especially with the axes to the fore!

Bit before my time, but back in the day these must have looked wonderful to small boys - all laid-out or lined-up, on a glass shelf, with fresh paint?
