T is for Tiberian Troops from Toyway

Bit of a cheat post, or even 'cheap' post, as I spent so much time on the Halloween stuff, I left myself with nothing for today, and no time to post it - if it had been ready - so quickly shot these, but they sort of ran-out of background and as I was being lazy, instead of setting-up a better 'set', I just shot them at a steeper angle - and definitely a box ticker!

Three lightly-armed auxiliary types, their grannies have knitted them lovely surcoats from brown wool, look; an open chain stitch; you could use them as mail shirts in a movie! Joking apart; it's nice to see the mail a bit rusty looking, as I'm sure it got so, after a few weeks on campaign, especially in the cold, wet, Northern 'provinces'.

Three 'proper' empire-era legionnaires with the lorica-segmata (or whatever the spelling is), overlapping plate armour, the only three in the set and looking like a reconnaissance patrol rather than a well drilled maniple.

Four more of the lightly-armed troops make-up the ten figures of these Toyway sets, these all given a helmet and shield, but nothing else bar a baldric to hang their sword's scabbards' from - the centurion and the archer have both drawn a belt from the QM's stores though!

All of them, from the rear, although mostly rather casual (all the sibling sets are the same) and lightly armed they are nice figures and I like them, they are also quite well-painted for china-troops.

The one oddity with all these sets from Toyway, is the separate base with its small 'CHINA' in the hollowed-out underside, where a single mounting spigot is set very near the edge of the quite-wide disc, most figures having a choice of two holes (some only have one) they all end-up 'standing back' on their little piece of universe - the kneeling guy and the standing on a rock guy being the two exceptions; they are also the poses with only one hole!
