Late Roman lists - Rob Groom 21/01/2021

 

What does the "typical" Late Roman list look like? I'm painting some legionaries but I'm not sure what to add to them and as I picked up a few boxes of legionaries I'm not sure if l need to paint them all.

       thanks. I'm probably going to construct something around the invasion of Britain, maybe XX legion. Where is a good place to start looking for composition? What i have found so far gives me a rough 60/40 split auxiliary/legion but i have…
