Gladius Romae Sum, Belisarius
First Finished Models
Basing was done with fine sand mixed with some courser sand. First painted with Desert Sand then drybrushed with Skeleton Bone and finally a White drybrush. I used a dead grass that is so close to the base colour that in hindsight I should have found a different type but it's growing on me. Finally some dead grass tufts and they were done.
An Impetus Unit is 6 Cavalry minis on a 120mm x 80mm Base. To make the unit easier to use in other game systems and to avoid warping in the humid Queensland Weather my friend advised my to make two bases (60mm x 80mm) of 3 of three minis and put them together for games.
I wanted above all to keep them historically accurate and so I used a lot of red and off white, both cheap and well used colours. I mixed in some blue as well for the same reasons.
With the flash on you can sort of see the grass
