They are for the period 350-500 AD and encompase the German migrations, the fall of the Western Roman Empire through to Arthur, Warlord of the Britons. I'll report our progress here. The images are entirely mine; however all rights to the miniatures are retained by Tumbling Dice. A big thank you to Paul of TD as without his help and enthusiasim this project never would have happened.Poruchikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08436674855072849241noreply@blogger.comBlogger1125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1496345212870285648.post-15288977850754411262010-11-20T12:00:00.000-08:002010-11-20T14:05:06.682-08:00The Range to Date-Late Imperial Romans C350-450ADIf you are going to start a range of figures for this period I think the Germans offer some interesting possibilities and of course the Huns, Alans and other exotic Asiatic tribes are very cool.<br /><br />When it comes down to it though I think you almost have to start with the Western Romans. Defenders of the West, antagonists of the Eastern Empire, soldiers in Persia (Cornuti and Braciati) and defenders of Christendom against a flood of Pagans.<br /><br />While not yet posted on the Tumbling Dice web page this is the range as currently available.<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">C410 Fall of Rome</span></strong><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Late Romans circa 350-450AD</span></strong><br /><br /><strong>Infantry</strong><br /><br />LR1 Legionary<br />LR2 Legionary Bow<br />LR3 Legionary Command<br />LR4 Lanciarius<br />LR5 Auxilia Palatina<br />LR6 Auxilia Palatina Bow<br />LR7 Auxilia Palatina Command<br /><br /><strong>Cavalry</strong><br /><br />LR10 Cataphract<br />LR12 Clibanarius Kontos<br />LR14 Heavy Scutari<br />LR15 Heavy Command<br />LR16 Light Promoti Javalin<br />LR17 Light Scutari Javalin<br />LR18 Light Saggitari Bow<br /><br /><strong>Horses</strong><br /><br />H1 Fully Armoured Cataphract<br />H2 Half Armoured Clibarnarius<br />H3 Caparisoned Heavy Cav<br />H4 Light Horse<br /><br />Each code has multiple poses with 8 figures per bag for troops and 4 for horse.<br /><br />I'm in the process of building 96+ figure Legions, 48+ figure Auxilia and 24+ figure Vexillatio.<br /><br />Pictures will follow shortly of the unpainted and painted miniatures.Poruchikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08436674855072849241noreply@blogger.com0
