A rider from the Ordinary Light Horse wearing Lorica Hamata . I'm just finishing eight elements of these guys. Only the shields and Flock to go. They are all manufactured by A&A Miniatures.

  • Dirk Heinsius I still hate you :-) I thought my figures were looking good, and then you do this!
  • Dirk Heinsius What year are you aiming for, Late Middle Imperial, or Early Late Imperial?
  • Michael Stonyer Hey Dirk,

  • Michael Stonyer I'm aiming to create the Roman Army of the later part of third century at the point where the Army was forced to evolve. Based on my reading of the likes of Gibbons, The Notitia Dignitatum, Goscinny and of course Uderzo , this will allow me a much wider range of the traditional and modern Roman equipment and dress styles adopted by the Mobile Field Armies and Border troops.

  • Michael Stonyer After a 28 year sojourn from this Sport of Gentlemen I have arrived back in a "Golden Age" of War Gaming Miniatures, so I want to include as many as possible into what is normally seen as a pretty conservative looking Army .

  • Michael Stonyer A big fan of Aurealian. The really positive side of this period is we have fifty-one emperors to choose from.😂😂
