It seems like a long time since the last post, but I finally have a few units ready to march off the production line with the first being 18 elements of Republican Roman Accensi:
These belong to the early Republican Roman period and form part of the DBMM Camillan army list, rated as inferior spear. They were essentially the poorest of the citizen troops and only lightly armed, often deployed in the last rank or alongside the Triarii to provide support and keep themselves out of direct trouble:
The figures are Xyston, as with the rest of the army, and the shield decals from Little Big Men Studios:
Two of the packs were a figure short, but a couple of surplus musicians very handily filled the space in the ranks:
The army list allows only six elements so this is a classic case of over-ordering, although I purchased them ten years ago so who knows what army list I was basing them on at the time:
Next up, 32 elements of velites in a variety of animal-skin headdresses, which means I may finally have the end of this project in sight
