Check out this Sci-Fi Roman from Heresy miniatures, expanding the empire on a planetary scale. Here is the pretty awesome looking Arturus...
If anyone remembers the children's TV show Aquila, this is what I imagine the Roman who piloted that craft looked like. Probably a whole lot more interesting than the reality. Would be interesting to see what conversions could come out of this miniature.
What do you make of him?

looks strangely familiar especially in the company of “emily lake” and “nerdlord”. its lovely to see some doctor who mini’s 🙂
That would be awesome.
It puts me more in mind of Caesar’s legion in Fallout new vegas, especially that pistol.
Romanesque IG officer anyone? The pose is perfect and while giving a Roman centurion a pistol is anachronistic and pretty original, note the power line running up the sword blade…
I wonder how Warlord Romans would look with lasguns, that might be interesting. Certainly their armour (Lorica?) would work as flak or carapace armour.
Could certainly make for a very individual looking Imperial Guard faction. With the right paint scheme it would work very well.

It just looks like a Roman Legionnaire with a gun. He’s even got sandals on. They need to use the inspiration of Roman soldiers to inform the design of the armour; as James Cameron did with his Colonial Marines in Aliens. If you don’t, you just get what looks like “a Roman with a gun”. I know there’s a subtle power line on the sword to make it look like a powered weapon, and he does have sleeves and trousers, it still looks like they took a Roman model and put a gun on him. Maybe he could have had… Read more »
They are basing him off of a character in a popular redo of a classic British sci-fi. In one episode, he walks onto a mechanoid battleship wearing full Roman armour. Simply explained, He’s a guy who gets erased from history, and then re-incarnated 2,000 years before he was born, as an automaton posing as a soldier in a Roman Legion posted in England. He’s part of a trap for the main character, which in turn is built from a sub-character’s childhood memories. once the trap is sprung, he is left to guard an alien artifact for almost 2,000 years underneath… Read more »
Aha! That makes more sense then; I had no idea that he was based on an existing character lol. A karma point to you sir! 😛
Stupid size sword.
