I can't stop thinking about ancient Rome - De Bellis Antiquitatis edition

Only had a small amount of time for hobby tonight but plenty of time for the small details, let’s get stuck in.

Going to work on the wood items the color isn’t much of a shift but will cover up some of the slips of the brush with the bronze and leather. I’m using Oak Wood here but if I were to do this again I’d go with a lighter shade like I used on my Airborne. At this small scale I think the darker colors just seem to fade into each other. The result was still good in proper light and that is what I was going for.

I need to find a good blonde color for this archer with his helmet removed I think been using so much brown lately I need a change.

Finishing off the night I use some Necromancer Cloak to paint the manes of the horses. This isn’t a large shift from the black but gives a bit of a highlight to the area and covered up some over brushing when I did the chainmail. The final result didn’t look that different so I didn’t take a photo.

Next session we are going to do the tunics and trousers. The red will finally make these feel like Romans. I need to do some research on the trousers to see if I can find something other than brown to use. After that then we just need to touch up the flesh areas and I think we are ready to base these up! In my order to Xyston I got some new shields that are more oval like the republican Romans used rather than the imperial ones I got initially. I’ll find a use for those in another project sometime. With that I’ll draw this post to a close, thanks for following and I will see you all next post!
