Second Pretorian cohort finished - posted by Russell Briant, 6 November 2021

Finished my second Praetorian cohort.

Aventine 28mm and 12 of them from Brent Senior-Partridge’s collection..

Tried variations in the campaign cloaks. Not entirely happy with these. Didn’t nail the shading.

The two Praetorians at each end of the front rank wear what Aventine call the inner guard helmet. They were the four new figures to bring up to four figures per base. These and the centurion have plastic shields from Warlord Games Caesarean range.

The two cohorts together. Eight bases Bd(S) are the maximum for the Middle Imperial Roman list.

Shield decals are again Veni Vidi Vici water slide transfers. As previously said, I find these easier to apply and end with a satisfactory finish than the very pretty Little Big Man alternatives.

Decided to paint the pteruges in an imperial purple trimmed in scarlet rather than white.
